I created the "Coping with difficult situations" project based on research and experience to equip children with vital skills. My goal is to positively impact their well-being by addressing socio-emotional development and sharing successful methods with educators and organisations.
In practice, the "Coping with difficult situations" innovation involves a structured methodology aimed at developing socio-emotional skills in children aged 5-8 within an educational setting. The approach includes several key components:
- Identifying challenges through observation.
- Using question cards for discussions.
- Conducting individual or group sessions.
- Facilitating dialogue and reflection.
- Integrating coping skills into activities.
- Monitoring progress through assessments.
- Developing Universal Cards for wider use.
Overall, the innovation involves a dynamic and interactive approach where children actively participate in identifying, discussing, and reflecting on challenging situations, guided by educators using specialized tools. The goal is to empower children with effective coping strategies and foster their socio-emotional development, overall growth and well-being.
The "Coping with difficult situations" project is spreading through partnerships with schools, professional workshops, online resources, community engagement, research publications, advocacy efforts, and digital outreach. By collaborating with educators and organizations, offering training and resources, and raising awareness through various channels, the project is reaching a wider audience and empowering more educators to integrate socio-emotional skills into children's development programs globally. This multi-faceted approach ensures sustainability and scalability of the methodology across diverse educational contexts.
To try the "Coping with difficult situations" methodology:
1. Learn about it through workshops or resources.
2. Obtain question cards and materials.
3. Start with small sessions, discussing challenges.
4. Facilitate dialogue using the methodology.
5. Monitor progress and collaborate with educators.
6. Share your experiences and outcomes for growth.
