Some examples of this concept are Positive Action and Second Step. As a simple introduction, this post will be focusing on the program Promoting Alternative Thinking Strategies (PATHS).

Literature for Children is a place of affections, a place where words are used in a poetic and plurissignificant way, a place where children let themselves be seduced by the illustrations and appealing palette of colours that enrich the verbal text and make them dream and travel in a fantasy world that is so close to their reality.
Dear colleagues and friends,
The third training of the SELF project was in the city of Malmö, facilitated by Lund University.

It is urgent to give children the tools that will enable them to find harmony and balance in face of the adverse rhythm of modern life.

What does research say about social and emotional learning (SEL) in preschools in general? One way of condensing vast amounts of research into a more accessible format is through systematic review. Basically, summarizing many studies into a single study. In the scope of EU-SELF, we undertook a systematic review aiming to find out what we know, and don’t know, about SEL-interventions in preschool.

Some challenging behaviors can be too difficult and persistent to alleviate using good practices. For these situations, a functional behavioral assessment (FBA) and subsequent behavior intervention plan (BIP) may come in handy. These methods are often used for one child and one challenging behavior at a time. While there are various ways of conducting these methods, there are also more standardized and manualized ways of doing them as well. One such method is Prevent-Teach-Reinforce (PTR).
Social and emotional skills can be promoted using a wide variety of activities, namely through sports activities. Montessori IQ Corner Preschool from Tuzla, Bosnia-Herzgovina, shares their experience and good practices
