Theraupetic Stories and Fairy Tales for Children

Priče i bajke postoje još od prvih početaka čovjeka. Zadatak im je oduvijek bio sačuvati važne pouke i prenositi mudrost na daljnje generacije. One su snažno odgojno sredstvo. Terapeutske priče i bajke za djecu primjenjuju se kao terapija u radu s djecom predškolske dobi kako bi se zahtjevno i problematično ponašanje dovelo u ravnotežu. Ovom metodom slušanja i čitanja priča i bajki djeci se pruža pomoć u rješavanju problema, konflikata, u razumijevanju vlastitih osjećaja, ali i u razumijevanju drugih ljudi. Djeca se poistovjećuju s likovima iz priča i bajki, proživljavaju njihova iskustva te kroz imaginativno putovanje likova prevazilaze teškoće, na indirektan način. U svome radu odgojitelji se koriste pričama i bajkama kao poticajima za razgovor, promišljanja i izražavanje emocija. Razvojna biblioterapija je metoda koja se provodi u dječjim vrtićima, a pri tome koristi didaktičke, informacijske i kreativne medije u radu s djecom predškolske dobi. U ovome radu navedeni su neki primjeri igara i aktivnosti s djecom koji uključuju priče i bajke. Konačno, istražena je primjena priča i bajki za djecu te koliko i koje terapeutske priče i bajke odgojitelji koriste u svome radu.Stories and fairy tales have existed since the earliest days of humanity.
