PERSONAL, SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL DEVELOPMENT

                            (P.S.E.D)

 

TOPIC:  HEALTHY EMOTIONAL HABITS

The children were taught the importance of expressing their emotions at all time in last term course work. They were also taught the different types of emotions they can have at any given time. The feelings of happiness, bitterness, love, fear etc.

This topic will help the children to know the right action to take when they feel a certain type of emotion. 

 PSED NURSERY 2 THIRD TERM LESSON NOTE

LESSON 1: POSITIVE WAYS TO EXPRESS EMOTIONS

Remember, asking children to suppress their feelings is not good as it leads to lack of self confidence and feeling of worthlessness. Some people often say to a crying child “Be quiet and dry up your tears, it’s not a big deal”. That’s very wrong. Denying a child the chance to express themselves sends them a very negative message that their feelings are not worthy. The child will translate this to mean that he or she is not worthy and this results in a whole new set of problems.

As teachers, we should teach the children that it is good to express their feelings. But we should also teach them the best ways to express such feelings

Explain to the children that insulting a friend or class mate when they damage their property is not the best way to express the feeling of anger. 

Do not insult a friend or classmate who spoil your thing rather say, I feel angry that you broke my toy, my pencil, etc.

This lesson will focus more on the feeling of anger, sadness or bitterness

PROMPTING QUESTION:             what are the ways you can express your feelings?

RESPONSE:                                            Ways to express my feelings

I can express my feelings by speaking to someone about how I feel

I can express my feelings by walking away 

I can express my feelings by asking for help

I can express my feelings by reading a story book

Shouting, throwing things, abusing or hitting someone are not good ways to express my feelings.

LESSON 2: POSITIVE SELF IMAGE

 

Positive self image is all about boosting the Self-esteem and self confidence of the children. Children who have self esteem and confidence often have the courage to try new things and make new friends. 

Self esteem is the feeling of good about oneself. It means loving yourself the way you are. Trusting in your abilities, believing in your skills and appreciating whom you are. 

With high self-esteem, the children will believe in themselves and it helps them to accept mistakes when things go wrong and gives them the boost to try again, and possibly have the motivation to find a better way to do the same thing.

Self esteem and self confidence gives children the foundation for a successful adult life.

As a teacher, you have great role to play in nurturing the self esteem of the children. Good self esteem and confidence level help a child to perform better in class works. It gives them the push to always try new things no matter how challenging it may be.

You can nurture the self esteem of the children by making sure every child in the class participates in class activities

Do not allow other children to laugh at any child for not doing something right

Show equal love to every child irrespective of their abilities and strengths

Encourage every child in your class to try new things, finding things they’re good at and being praised for things that are important to them.

This lesson is more practical. But, positive affirmation will also help the children build a positive self image.

PROMPTING QUESTION:           Do you believe in yourself?

RESPONSE:                                            Yes I believe in my self

                                                                        I am wonderful and beautiful

I have super amazing skills to do great things

I am talented

I am very bold

I can do anything I set my mind on

I may make mistakes but I will get it right the next time I try

                      LESSON 3: BODY GRATITUDE- THE BEAUTY OF MY BODY

This topic is to help the kids appreciate their unique physical qualities. 

We should teach these kids to talk about their bodies as an expression of gratitude. They should love everything about their body. They should never feel anything is wrong with their body no matter how it is. Even a child with any physical deformity should be made to love his or her body regardless of their challenges. Body shaming is one of the major causes of depression. The earlier the children are made to love their body, the faster they build self confidence and self esteem.

Remind the kids that they are unique and special. There is no one else like them in the world. They are unmatched, distinctive and extraordinary.

Children who have a healthy body image feel good about their bodies. They are happy with how they look, how their body moves and grows and what their body can do

Body image is part of a child’s self image. Having a good body image helps kid feel confident and adds to their self esteem.

PROMPTING QUESTION: 

How do you feel about your body?

RESPONSE: 

PSED NURSERY 2 THIRD TERM LESSON NOTE 

I feel so good about my body 

wonderful

 Everything in my body is so beautiful and

My face is amazing

My legs are great

My hands are excellent 

God loves me so much

 for giving me the best body in the world.

I love my body just the way it is

LESSON 4: CHARITY AS AN ESSENTIAL LIFE SKILL

EXPLANATION: Charity is simply an act of kindness. It means helping people in need. It involves giving money, food or other kinds of help to people who are poor, needy or sick.

Charity in totality means love for humanity, showing kindness and accepting people the way they are.

Teaching children about giving and helping others gives them a feeling of empowerment in an uncertain world where unexpected and sometimes frightening events happen every day. 

Children have to realize that there are people who do not have food to eat; they are other children who do not have clothes to wear; they are sick children whose parents do not have money to take them to hospital. 

You will use this lesson to encourage the act of giving among the children as well as build the spirit of gratitude in their minds. Realizing that some children can not go to school because their parents are poor will help the children to appreciate their parents and value all they do for them. 

 

PROMPTING QUESTION:  What is charity?

RESPONSE:                            Charity means helping the poor, the sick and the needy. 

It also means being kind to people, being nice to people and giving assistance to people who need help. 

LESSON 5: ACTS OF CHARITY

This lesson focuses on ways children can demonstrate charitable acts. You can help build a foundation of charitable giving for the children and show them that their actions, no matter how small, can make a real difference. They must not give money, clothes or food before they show charity. They are seemingly insignificant things the children can do to help another person.  For instance, smiling at a sick child or poorly looking child; holding doors open for people who need help like a physically challenged person; or helping their class mates to arrange things and tidy their desk are all charitable acts the children can engage in. Most children already do these things, but they will be pleased to learn that they're helping out

PROMPTING QUESTION:  How do you show charity to people?

RESPONSE:                             I can show charity to people

By smiling at sick and poor people in the street

By holding the door for people who need help

By assisting my sick class mate to arrange their lunch box and school bag

By cleaning the room when messed up by other children By giving my seat to a sick child to use

 

PRACTICAL HOME WORKS ON CHARITY:

Ask every child to set one goal on charity

Let the child choose one way he or she will render assistance to people 

Let the explain how he or intends to go about it

It could be in their neighbourhood

It could be in school

Allow the children to decide by themselves.

Some children may have big ideas which might need either the school or their parent’s assistance for actualisation.

TOPIC: SOCIAL SKILLS-RAISING SOCIALLY INTELLIGENT CHILDREN

Social skills are ways of dealing with others that create healthy and positive interactions. They are skills we use everyday to interact  and communicate with others.  A person has strong social skills if they know how to behave in social situations and understand both written and implied rules.  

Social skills are one of the most important skills children need to develop at young age. This is because, they often serve as predicators of future success. They are important aspect of life.

Developing social skills in children prepares them for a life time of healthier interactions in all aspects of life. 

Peer rejection, poor academic performance, social isolation, depression, bullying and anxiety may be signs of poor social skills. When these issues are addressed, it helps a child to feel better.

The essence of this topic is to help the children to develop their social skills. In teaching this topic, the teacher has to focus on desirable behavior. That is, the behaviors you want to see in the children not the ones they should not do.
