Fairytale therapy — is one of the methods used for psychosocial assistance to children by psychologists of children's spaces operating within the PROMESSA project: "Pearl" — in Novovodolazka, "Wings" — in Zlatopilska, "Source" — in Tomakivska communities.
Fairytale therapy involves psychosocial help through fairy tales, legends, tales, and the use of metaphors that help the child understand his emotions and feelings. And also consider life situations on the example of fairy-tale heroes.
By the way, these can be both famous fairy tales and created by children. In addition, it can be not only writing, but also playing stories, drawing them, creating collages, telling stories using various materials.
Thanks to this method, the child acquires new knowledge and skills in understanding his own and other people's emotions. This process allows her to draw parallels between the imaginary and the real world.
This is an ecological way of forming a child's social emotional intelligence.
We are waiting for a meeting in children's spaces!
