Early childhood education

Early childhood education takes place in a variety of places such as daycare centres, family centers or self-organized groups that support the social, emotional, cognitive and physical development of children. These spaces promote encounters and exchanges between children, caregivers and professionals from different backgrounds and enable relationships to be forged.

We offer you Materials, Workshops and content on various topics in the field of early childhood education.

The child I'm thinking of always tries very hard not to make mistakes. If he does make a mistake, the reaction is very strong. The child often reacts with great anger, which it directs at itself and sometimes also at others.

Please take a moment and have a look at the Affirmation card set of the Vor-Sprung project.

Then select a card that suits this child. Think about how you can use this card to work together with the child. Again, use the pen and paper you have provided.

Take a moment to answer the following questions about the affirmation you have chosen. You are welcome to use the pen and paper provided.

➡️ Which affirmation have you chosen?

➡️ How does the selected affirmation make you feel?

➡️ What negative belief could be behind this affirmation? Or how could you reformulate the selected affirmation into a negative one?

➡️ Can you remember where this negative belief came from? From your parents? From school?

➡️ Where does this negative belief limit you? Where does it make your life difficult or prevent you from doing something?
