We often face the question of how to get ourselves or others to act. What does motivation really mean? Is it an internal desire or an external necessity? And most importantly, is it necessary to motivate someone at all, for example, children?

Motivation is the key to success in many areas of life. However, it is not always clear how to apply it correctly. It is important to be able to choose the approach that will best suit ach particular situation.

Children’s well-being depends on their understanding of own rights and responsibilities. When should we talk to children about these things? Of course, from childhood. And, of course, involving all participants in the educational process. Let’s try to define our rights in a playful way and understand what to do when they are violated. 

Discussing important things with children is a simple way. 

On 27 November, at 16:00, we invite students of grades 1-4 to the masterclass “My rights and responsibilities” (as part of the All-Ukrainian campaign “16 Days Against Violence”).

Participants will:

People remember traditions from childhood throughout their lives. And the most interesting thing is that each family has something special: reading books before bedtime, going to the cinema, fishing or mushroom picking… However, in today’s dynamic environment, family values are changing or turning into rituals. 

We invite everyone who wants to understand the issues of family traditions and their importance for children and parents to the webinar “The happiness of being together. Family traditions and rituals for children and parents”.

When: 22 November at 19:00

Where: Zoom platform

Host – Olha Huliayeva, a practical psychologist, a consultant in the method of positive psychotherapy, a member of the Ukrainian Union of Psychotherapists.

Let’s think together about the psychology of family traditions and rituals; explore family traditions and perhaps add some rituals to our everyday lives. We will also look at the functions of family traditions; distinguish between the concepts of “tradition” and “ritual”; and determine the importance of traditions and rituals for modern children and parents.

What happens to the body when a child grows up in difficult circumstances? How do negative childhood experiences affect us, and can we get rid of them? How does all this affect adult life? 

We can “reboot” the brain, which, like the body, is never static: the brain and body are always in the process of formation and development. It is possible to become neurobiologically resilient, and we do have the resources to improve our health from within. Such a bold undertaking can be called the “neurobiology of awakening”.

If a school violates a child’s rights, legal factors should be involved, rather than psychological or medical. This is a matter of realising the right, and it makes no sense to fill the gap in law enforcement with psychological and pedagogical mechanisms. Cognitive activity plays a crucial role in the development of any child, which is realised through education.

Colours are an integral part of our lives. The human eye can recognise 1.5 million colours and shades. Thanks to colours, we unconsciously transmit and perceive information about the world, understand more about ourselves and others. Colour speaks to us in a language that we understand instinctively. It is a language of emotions that influences our behaviour and mood. Also, colour therapy can help us improve our physical condition, calm down or, conversely, become more active and energetic.

We invite children aged 7-9 to the masterclass “Colour therapy. The impact of colour on our lives”

Self-stimulatory behaviour (or “stims”) is often found in children with special educational needs. Parents repeatedly turn to specialists with a request to “remove stims”.

If you often do not understand why your child reacts in a certain way to certain situations, if his or her behaviour attracts the attention of others, we invite you to the webinar “Self-stimulating behaviour in children”.

There are character traits, talents, abilities and skills that make us feel confident, and there are traits that cause more problems than they solve.

However, each trait can be used as an advantage. To do this, we need to accept it, understand its meaning and decide what we want to use it for. For example, stubbornness can be a hindrance to friendship, but it is good for sports or study.

At the masterclass “My different sides are my strengths and resources”, we will talk about the uniqueness of each person’s set of qualities.

6 November 2024 at 16:00, Zoom platform

We invite children aged 10-12 to:

– explore their strengths and vulnerabilities;

– reduce anxiety;

– explore opportunities and obstacles;

– reflect on important values.
