This method is loved and practiced in the Yolochka garden. A video of children in swimsuits and swimwear being flooded with water on the street has gone viral on social media. Some commentators talk about the benefits of hardening, others call it too cruel.
The head, Olga Akatova, assured the Vodium publication that there is no arbitrariness in the kindergarten, the children's health is carried out according to a special system and with the consent of the parents.
"Children really get sick less, and the children and parents are satisfied with the work being done. The kindergarten organized a hardening group for adults, where employees and parents turn themselves off."
She doesn't know what's causing the negative comments on social media, but suggests that "maybe not everyone understands the benefits."
