lesson notes of a teacher-psychologist in kindergarten

Why do you need sessions with a psychologist for children?

As a child grows up, he faces a number of difficulties. He can overcome some difficulties on his own, others with his parents, but not all issues can be resolved correctly by parents. In this case, the help of a psychotherapist is required.

What difficulties will a psychologist help you overcome during the training program:

• adaptation to school, new team;
• preparation for new conditions;
• aggressiveness, conflict;
• nervousness;
• timidity;
• depression;
• low self-esteem;
• misunderstanding in the family.

Individual sessions with a psychologist for children can be recommended by teachers or educators, and parents can also make a decision on their own if they have difficulties in communicating. Sometimes parents react aggressively to recommendations from teachers at school or kindergarten to take their child to a psychotherapist. But this does not mean that the baby is abnormal or insufficiently developed. It is often difficult for parents to objectively evaluate their child, so they need a professional look from the outside.

In individual sessions, a specialist will find the cause of a misunderstanding, conflict or other situation, and will also draw up a scheme for correcting behavior or resolving the issue.

What is the difference between a psychologist and a teacher, neurologist and psychiatrist?

You should be well aware of the differences between a psychologist and a teacher, neurologist and psychiatrist.

A neurologist and a psychiatrist are people with higher medical education who have a specialized license for medical practice; they have the right to prescribe medications and prescribe treatment.

A neurologist deals with disorders in the functioning of the nervous system: headaches, constant fatigue, tics, back pain, head injuries, fainting, coordination and balance disorders, sleep disorders, in some cases sensory organ disorders, and more.

A psychiatrist deals with mental disorders: personality disorders (for example, attacks of uncontrolled aggression), mood disorders (depression and impaired motivation, sudden mood swings, etc.), disorders of cognitive functions (impaired perception, for example, hallucinations, thinking, memory, etc. etc.), painful personality changes after traumatic life events (sleep problems, aggressiveness, isolation, etc.). The task of doctors is timely diagnosis and assistance in eliminating or alleviating the symptoms of the disease and improving the patient’s quality of life.

A teacher is engaged in teaching and raising children. He has a pedagogical education and is responsible for the knowledge and skills of children, as well as their ability to comply with accepted standards of behavior. The teacher evaluates the child’s knowledge and skills and their compliance with age norms, studies how the child acquires new knowledge and retains the material covered in his memory. Developmental classes with a teacher allow the child to learn new things and also help improve the child’s learning ability.

A psychologist is a specialist with a psychological education, whose task is to take care of the psychological well-being of the client. It helps people fight negative thoughts and reactions, strengthen self-esteem, improve communication skills with other people, develop the cognitive sphere, overcome life crises and difficult periods, resolve family conflicts and much more. All psychologists have different additional education and areas of professional interest: some work with marital relationships, others provide career counseling, others help improve parent-child relationships and promote the harmonious development of the child, and others specialize in working with traumatic events and their consequences.

Specialists from different fields usually tend to work together: this gives better and faster results. Therefore, it is not surprising that one specialist will recommend seeking advice from another. So, for example, it is completely normal if a psychologist recommends seeing a psychiatrist or neurologist, and a teacher gives a recommendation to visit a psychologist. Remember that all specialists are solely interested in getting rid of the problem as quickly as possible, so their recommendations should be followed.

Progress of the lesson.

Psychologist:

“Guys, I suggest you sit in a circle. And as always, we start our lesson with the game “I Like You.” Now we will all together form one big colored web that connects us to each other. When we weave it, each of us can express our kind thoughts and feelings that we feel towards our peers. So, wrap the loose ends of the woolen thread twice around your palm and roll the ball towards one of the guys, accompanying your movement with the words: “Lena (Oleg, Maxim)! I like you because... (it’s very fun to play different games with you).”

Lena, having listened to the words addressed to her, wraps the thread around her palm so that the “web” is more or less taut. After this, Lena must think and decide who to give the ball to next. Handing it over to Oleg, she also says kind words: “Oleg! I like you because you helped me find my bow that I lost yesterday.” And so the game continues until we are all entangled in the “web”. Then we all admire the resulting thread pattern together, let the thread slip from my hand, and I wind the ball.

The purpose of this exercise is to develop communication skills and good relationships between children.

How do individual lessons work?

The specialist works in a playful way. An individual plan between a psychologist and a child involves games, tests, and drawings. His task is to draw up a psychological portrait in order to identify the features of his development, hidden and obvious problems.

After consultation and diagnosis, the specialist will tell you about the results and also offer an individual correction program. Some problems need to be worked out in groups, about which parents will also be notified separately. You can sign up for a consultation and individual lessons by phone or on the website. The price of a session with a psychologist starts from 4,000 rubles.

In what cases should you contact a child psychologist?

So, we found out that the psychologist works with healthy children and kids with mild developmental disabilities. A child psychologist conducts diagnostics, developmental classes and consultations for parents. In what cases should you consult a psychologist?

Abrupt changes or traumatic experiences in a child's life

Order and stability are very important to kids, so the world becomes predictable, understandable, and therefore a safe place for them. It is for this reason that sudden changes in conditions (moving, changes in family structure and lifestyle) and, even more so, traumatic events (divorce of parents, death of a loved one, physical or psychological violence experienced) can be a serious test for a child.

At such moments, a consultation with a child psychologist will help parents understand how the child copes with changes, how they can help him, and for the child himself, classes with a psychologist can become a comfortable place to experience difficult experiences.

The appearance of unwanted behavior in the baby

Changes in behavior, disobedience, tearfulness, aggression towards other children and adults, shyness, isolation, excessive fantasizing, nightmares, stubbornness, lack of curiosity, slowness, difficulties in kindergarten and school and other behavioral problems can also be a reason to consult a psychologist . He will be able to determine whether such behavior is normal, explain its reasons and help parents choose the best educational tactics to normalize the situation.

Parents' fatigue and lack of confidence in their abilities

It would be great if parenting always brought only positive emotions, and we always knew what to do in the best way. But, unfortunately, even the most attentive and responsible mother can feel lost, not know what to do next and need emotional support. In a situation where the experiences are primarily related to the child, you can contact a child psychologist. For example, if you feel guilty towards your child for devoting little time to him, if it seems to you that you do not have the strength to raise a child, you lash out at the baby, or if you do not understand how to raise a child correctly. In all these cases, a child psychologist will provide you with emotional support, help you find an inner resource, and give recommendations on how to restore strength and self-confidence.
