Zoning of the children’s room. How and why is it?

When planning a room for a child, every parent wants everything to be not only comfortable and beautiful, but also right. So that the child can play active games here and can immediately concentrate for classes and calm educational games, and later for study. Proper planning of the nursery will help to bring up in the child important qualities in the future: organization, cleanliness, independence.

Which zones are necessary for your child is determined only by you, but here are the three main zones that you should determine:

· Rest zone. This zone should be as calm as possible and not crowded with objects. Its center is the bed (sofa).

· Game Zone. At a certain age, this zone will be the largest and leading in the child. It should be comfortable and interesting here. Its center can be a «dry» pool or a sports area. There can be bright accents in the form of a carpet or a pattern on the wall.

· Work zone. For both preschoolers and older children, this is a necessary and important area. Its center is a comfortable desk. First for classes and creativity, and later for lessons. Complemented by shelves for storing books and necessary items. Here you need to make sure that there is enough lighting and the colors around should be calm and not distracting.

Depending on the age of the child, the allocation of zones may differ. Therefore, over time, something will have to be rebuilt, replaced and rearranged. Try to take this into account initially so as not to overhaul the room every 2-3 years.

So for children under 3-5 years old, color differentiation of zones is sufficient. And the recreation area should be made darkened (away from the light). To make it easier for the baby to fall asleep. And of course, the safety of the child is paramount here. Soft corners, the availability of toys and the inaccessibility of dangerous.

· For children from 4 to 7 years old, the play area will be the most important. Here you can add items for active games. Swedish wall, uneven bars, gymnastic rings. The working area can temporarily become a creative area, where there will be available paints, pencils, puzzles, etc. around.

· From 7 to 12 years old, the work area becomes the leading and important area. The school period is the busiest. It is better to arrange the desk so that the play area (if the toys are still stored in the room) is not in the child’s line of sight while he is performing educational tasks. For this age, partitions may already be required to separate zones. Here it is worth choosing according to the possibilities and dimensions of your room. It can be curtains, screens or shelves, which will immediately serve as a place for storage.
