The forum was attended by manufacturers of children's goods, State Duma deputies Tatyana Butskaya and Maria Butina, as well as diplomats fr om Belarus and Serbia, representatives of ministries and public organizations.
The most important topic for all those gathered was voiced by Tatyana Butskaya, First Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Family Protection, Fatherhood, Motherhood and Childhood: "Through support of family values, we must revive a large industry that is already turning into an Ecosystem of Childhood. Everything that surrounds the child, everything that parents spend money on, is everything that we, as adults, must provide in the family."
The deputy drew attention to the importance of supporting Russian manufacturers of goods for children.
“We are talking about the importance of childhood for the whole world, for those people who share normal, traditional values today, for those people in whose families children should play with educational toys, and toys that form the right approach to what is “good” and what is “bad,” emphasized State Duma deputy Maria Butina.
Elfiya Dorofeeva, President of the Association for the Development of the Quality of Preschool Education, drew attention to the key role of methodological developments and the formation of values in the education children. Indeed, toys themselves do not have magical powers and do not have a direct impact on the development of a child. Their impact becomes significant only in the context of the attitude and values that the teacher conveys in the process of interaction with children.
A recent survey conducted by the International Pedagogical Academy of Preschool Education showed that the vast majority of educators support traditional values. However, at the same time, many of them put personal interests above public ones. This aspect requires special attention and work with teachers, emphasizes the need to organize retraining and advanced training courses.
Elfiya Dorofeeva focused on the importance of instilling in children the love of family, native land and homeland from an early age. Patriotism and respect for the cultural traditions of one's country are laid in childhood and become the basis for the formation of a future responsible citizen.
Equally important is the creation of a space wh ere children can freely realize their ideas, explore the world around them and explore new opportunities. This approach not only develops children, but also creates conditions for their emotional and social well-being. Teachers, with the necessary knowledge and support, will be able to create an educational process that will contribute to the harmonious development of the child's personality.
Thus, working with teachers and their continuous training is the key to successful education of future generations, which is based on strong traditional values and openness to the new. All kinds of methodological developments should serve not only as a tool, but also as a basis for developing children's love for their family and friends, as well as for their native country, creating conditions for full-fledged personal growth.
