Riddles in guesses. The pot is smart, seven holes in it. Savushkin S.N.

This book for parents who want to see how their child reasons and searches for the correct answers, rejecting the wrong.

At the beginning, children do not always understand that the riddle is a question, and remember the answer prompted by adults. And then from time to time they broadcast this answer mechanically. Therefore, we recommend not folk riddles (often rather complicated) for starters, but simple modern ones, with rhymed answers at the end. This book for children who have passed the first stage and are already ready for the reflection process.

at this stage, perhaps the most common mistake - the inability to take into account all the parameters of the riddle. Children miss something, clutching individual definitions. For example, in the riddle “gray in summer, and in the winter the white” can recall a white bear, not considering that it is white in winter and in summer.

In this book, four response options are offered to a choice. One is the traditional correct one, the second (and sometimes the third) is the right one, suitable for all criteria. The fourth is wrong. The child will be forced to think in order to figure it out, and adults, of course, should help him in this.

Here, for example, a riddle "What can not be bled for?" How do we reason? You can’t bite for yourself, for your nose too. Both the answer is suitable. By the hand and by the leg it seems to be possible, if not for the arrow. They indicate precisely the elbow and heel (and in general, pay attention to the arrows-they show for something specific in the figure). The classic answer - by the elbow. And the fourth answer depends on the flexibility of the child - he can try to reach his mouth as an experiment.
