The technique of game skills development for parents raising young children

Abstract

The purpose of our research was to elaborate a technique for developing gaming skills for parents raising young children. To achieve this goal we concretized the concept of "parents' gaming skills"; defined a list of skills that ensure the development of gaming activities in children at the early childhood stage; worked out a system of criteria and indicators to assess the level of development of parents' gaming skills and defined the means, basic forms and stages of developing parents' gaming skills. The methods were successfully tested at the Ural Center for Additional Education and proved to be effective. (C) 2016 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
