Characterization work: The rhythm of the movement is considered one of the basic assumptions of the optimum design movement technique. It develops musical-physical assumptions, and therefore a rhythmic feeling, which is important in children's categories. These assumptions can influence the appropriate intervention program of music and movement activities. Well mastered rhythm and movement patterns contribute to the successful acquisition of a variety of physical activities and sports performance in the final. Objective: The aim of this work is to elaborate an intervention program focused on music and movement activities.

In today's world, where education and training services are commercialized, the question arises about the possibilities and limitations of various didactic techniques. This issue is most relevant for parents of young children. Since the child himself can not give feedback about the impact of this technique on him. In this paper, an attempt is made to investigate the influence of G. Doman's method as a method of introducing into our culture. As diagnostic tools, proving such an impact was used the scale N. Bailey. The object of the study was the process of development of children in early childhood. The subject of the study was the levels of mental, motor and behavioral development. We put forward the hypothesis that the method of G. Doman contributes to a more intensive mental, motor and behavioral development of young children was concretized: this technique promotes expressive communication, the remaining indicators do not exceed the development and are similar to other methods. / В современном мире, где услуги обучения и воспитания коммерционализированы, встает вопрос о возможностях и ограничениях различных дидактических методик. Наиболее актуален этот вопрос для родителей детей раннего возраста. Так как сам ребенок не может дать обратную связь о воздействии такой методики на него. В данной работе предпринята попытка исследовать влияние методики Г. Домана. В качестве диагностического инструментария, доказывающего такое влияние были использованы шкалы Н.Бэйли. Обьектом исследования стал процесс развития детей в раннем детстве. Предметом исследования стали уровни умственного, моторного и поведенческого развития. Выдвинутая нами гипотеза о том, что методика Г.Домана способствует более интенсивному умственному, моторному и поведенческому развитию детей раннего возраста была конкретизирована: данная методика способствует экспрессивной коммуникации, остальные показатели не превышают развитие и аналогичны другим методикам.

In connection with the rapid development of information technology and the emergence of various devices and devices that transmit this information, the question of psychological security that surrounds us and our children, information space. Since cartoons, one of the most preferred children's genres, we investigated the cartoon content most viewed by children of primary school age, as well as conducted a socio-psychological examination of the most popular cartoon among children 7-10 years. The theoretical part of the work covers such issues as the impact of the media on the personality of the child, the child's perception of what is happening on the screen, describes the features of the perception and influence of modern cartoons on the child's personality in modern domestic and foreign psychology. The empirical part reflects the results of the study. The survey showed that watching cartoons is not always controlled by adults, the most preferred cartoons do not correspond to age. Experts have identified cartoons as aggressive, not performing educational functions, not aesthetic. Revealed differences between experts parents and psychologists by age criterion. The results of the work can be applied in work with parents, psychologists, teachers and kindergarten teachers. / В связи со стремительным развитием информационных технологий и появлением различных девайсов и устройств, передающих эту информацию, встает вопрос о психологической безопасности, окружающего нас и наших детей, информационного пространства. Поскольку мультфильмы, один из наиболее предпочитаемых детских жанров, мы исследовали мультипликационный контент наиболее просматриваемый детьми младшего школьного возраста, а также провели социально-психологическую экспертизу наиболее популярного мультфильма среди детей 7-10 лет. В теоретической части работы освещены такие вопросы, как влияние средств массовой информации на личность ребенка, восприятие ребенком происходящего на экране, описаны особенности восприятия и влияния современных мультфильмов на детскую личность в современной отечественной и зарубежной психологии. В эмпирической части отражены результаты исследования. Проведенный опрос показал, что просмотр мультфильмов не всегда контролируется взрослыми, наиболее предпочитаемые мультфильмы не соответствуют возрасту. Эксперты определили мультфильмы как агрессивные, не выполняющие воспитательные функции, не эстетичные. Выявились расхождения между экспертами родителями и психологами по возрастному критерию. Результаты работы могут быть применены в работе с родителями, психологами, педагогами и воспитателями детских садов.
