But pay attention: you probably have a familiar family where the boy is passionate about sports, rides a bike all the time, plays football, in the summer he not only disappears in the river and climbs trees, but also puts up ads to earn extra money for a cool skateboard ...

And the girls aren't all busy posting their next selfie in social networks, many have time to engage in origami, which is now fashionable, go in for music and gymnastics, dance and sports, draw and go to theater studios.

And if you don’t brush off children like an annoying fly, always depicting being busy and referring to fatigue (you must admit, we often do this), but making some effort and showing interest, then you can improve life and life little man so that he will be interested and you will not be a burden!
