Approaches in working with preschool children who manifest behavioral problems

U diplomskom radu istaknuta je problematika sve većeg broja djece u ranom i predškolskom razdoblju koja pokazuju neke od problema ponašanja, bilo na socijalnom, emocionalnom području ili neke iz skupine poremećaja navika. S obzirom da djeca jako puno vremena provode u vrtiću i da je to prva organizirana odgojno obrazovna institucija u koju djeca ulaze, ona ima svoju odgovornost u ranom prepoznavanju i prevenciji poremećaja. Odgajatelji su prvi koji mogu primjetiti neuobičajna ponašanja te u skladu sa svojim kompetencijama pomoći djeci. Međutim, često pomoć izostane jer nemaju dovoljno alata, znanja ili se ne osjećaju sposobnima za to.Također pomoći se može na više načina; odgajatelji nisu psihoterapeuti ali sve aktivnosti koje koriste u svom radu mogu se promišljeno i ciljano iskoristiti kod djece koja pokazuju neke znakove problematičnog ponašanja. Cilj ovog rada bio je osvijestiti i prikazati koji su to najučestaliji problemi ponašanja te pristupi u radu sa djecom koja manifestiraju neke probleme ponašanja koji bi pomogli odgajateljima u svakodnevnom radu.The subject of this master thesis is the problem of an increasing number of children in the early and preschool period who show some of the behavioral problems, either in the social, emotional area or some of the group of habit disorders. Since children spend a lot of time in kindergarten and it is the first organized educational institution that children enter, it has its responsibility in the early detection and prevention of disorders. Educators are the first to notice unusual behaviors and in accordance with their competencies to help children. However, help is often lacking because they do not have enough tools, knowledge or do not feel capable of it. There is also a help in many ways; educators are not psychotherapists but all the activities they use in their work can be thoughtfully and purposefully used with children who show some signs of problematic behavior. The aim of this paper was to raise awareness and show what are the most common behavioral problems and approaches when working with children that manifest some behavioral problems that would help educators in their daily work
