How to increase the self-esteem of the child. The Exercises "Sun"

Exercise can be considered diagnostic, and correction: it works on increasing self-esteem of the child. The child's self-esteem develops, including those of value judgments, which the baby hears from adults.

These judgments can be positive: "Good", "Good", "You are my kind, smart, neat..." and negative: "Slob", "fidget", "Naughty non-Executive, Reva..."

Exercise "the Sun" clearly shows how in the mind of the child is entrenched certain ideas about themselves.

So, let's get to the essence of the exercise.

Its implementation will require a landscape sheet, markers or pencils.





Ask the child to draw a sun with rays. No requirements on the drawing is not presented, a child draws the sun anywhere within the sheet and what he likes.

Let the child talk a little about the sun.

Sun — what is it?

— Bright, yellow, red, kind, warm, joyful...

— And now imagine that the sun is you. The sun your name.

Let the child sign it, if he can, his name in the sun. If you write he doesn't know how, the name of the sign themselves. The sun must be sunlight. If they are little, then paint on to 7-9 rays.

— You have listed what wonderful sunshine: warm, bright, kind... let's sign every ray of sunshine, calling your wonderful quality.What are you?

The child may not immediately respond. Help him by saying something like, "I think you're good. And yet what?"

Each is named by you or the child as signed along the ray. Objective: to ensure that every ray was named. And allow the child to dream a little, boast. Don't mind, even if you think that it is the quality or habit he has not developed or absent. So you can hear what the child considers to be his achievements. "I'm doing the dishes... Clean up..." Write down everything that you hear, though this is done sometimes with tears, or even scandal. You do not need replicas, "Yes, this is done when you say ten times..." etc... the "Sun" we work only on the positive.

Interesting the reaction of parents who see in the classroom how the mood of the child (and it confirms computer diagnostics), changing from dark-black to Sunny yellow. One of the last sessions the mother of 5 year old Andrew asked if house paint is the sun on a large sheet and attach to the wall.

You can, of course, you can! And still it is possible, even necessary, to have everyone who knows the kid to sign the rays of the sun. You can add rays of each time you notice the child something for which he should be commended. Rays can add and the child.

One very important condition. How would you not get angry at a son or daughter, than if they were not guilty, punishing them, never mention in this moment about your man-made sun.

Believe me, one like innocent phrase like "You're a sweetheart, and so do..." can destroy the whole effect of the exercise.Offense, without a doubt, requires a reasonable punishment, but not crossing out the fact that your child — your little sunshine.

Another embodiment of the exercise the Sun. It occurs when the sun drawn by a child. Ask him to draw such a sun for grandma or dad, sister or a teacher in a kindergarten. Let it be a gift for a birthday or just a pleasant surprise.
