Lecture by psychologist Ekaterina Burmistrova "HOW TO HELP A CHILD GET USED TO NEW things. 5 keys to proper adaptation"

A new school, a new kindergarten, new friends, new circumstances, a new teacher or a new education system - there can be a lot of novelty in a child’s life.

How does a child get used to new things?
• What is the “adaptation period” and what can we expect from a child during this time.
• “Disadaptation” - when you couldn’t get used to it and something went wrong.
• Period of “temporary regression” and acute adaptation.
• What you need to be especially careful about, and how to understand that your child needs professional help.
• How teenagers get used to it.
• How strongly does adaptive or situational stress in adults affect the child.
• How to talk to your child about adaptation?
• Is it possible to overdo it with support?
• Special art and play therapy practices that can be used at home.
