Description

Children are given a lot of freedom in play and in resolving conflicts and problems, so that they can develop the potential of independence, creativity and experience the feeling of agency. The program also includes body, music, drawing, relaxation and mindfulness activities that are an important part of the program. The teacher and the parent receive the necessary materials to work with the child and his emotions in order to discover the child’s world of emotions in small steps every day. The Land of Emotions program is designed for all age groups from 3 to 7 years of age. It is prepared for 1 month and its implementation can be started at any time during the school year. Its implementation takes 15 minutes a day.

The educational program “Land of emotions” is a preventive program, used as an auxiliary program and is treated as an addition to any program implemented within the core curriculum. It can be used in kindergartens, in home education, by any parent in the home environment.

The guiding principle of the program is based on positive psychology and includes 3 basic pillars: love, reason, emotions. Children, teachers and parents participate in the implementation of the program. The teacher and parent is a person who is to set an example with a wise approach to managing emotions and a friendly relationship to people. There is a ban on the use of punishments and rewards, a reduction in the amount of commanding and admonishing messages in favor of the use of positive reinforcements. The program requires commitment from the teacher, who is to become a friend of his / her pupils, treat them in an individual way and observe their progress. An important element of the program implementation is systematic use of tools and implementation of guidelines and worksheets. The program is implemented using the “small steps” method, which makes the program execution easy and pleasant.
