Abstract

Djeca rane i predškolske dobi često trebaju udobno, tiho i zaštićeno mjesto gdje se mogu opustiti i udaljiti od glasnih i/ili prenapučenih područja u sobi . Potrebno je naučiti djecu da im odlazak u kutak osame može pomoći da se osjećaju ugodno i opušteno i da kasnije uživaju u ostatku vremena provedenom u vrtićkom kontekstu. Kutak osame može pomoći u situacijama u kojima se djeca osjećaju tjeskobno, a najčešće je to odmah ujutro prilikom dolaska u vrtić. Također to može biti i tijekom nekih vrlo dinamičnih i bučnih aktivnosti koje djetetu u tom trenutku ne odgovaraju. Postoje razne strategije pomoću kojih se može stvoriti ugodno ozračje u kutku za osamu. Potrebno je osigurati ‘ugodno područje’ koje je lako dostupno jer treba omogućiti svoj djeci da ga slobodno koriste. To podrazumijeva postojanje mekih površina, raznih igračaka, jastuka, deka.... Isto tako je važno da na raspolaganju bude i nekoliko knjiga koje djeca mogu pogledati ili zvučnik pomoću kojeg se može puštati umirujuća pozadinska glazba. Mogućnost regulacije emocija je važna vještina za djecu rane i predškolske dobi. Nekoj djeci treba više vremena da se smire, a nekoj manje. Mlađa djeca možda malo zaplaču, ali kasnije se smiruju i voljno se pridružuju ostatku grupe u sudjelovanju u daljnjim aktivnostima. Kutak za osamu je potrebno predstaviti kao mirno, zaštićeno mjesto koje dijete može izabrati ako postane uzrujano ili ljuto, ali i odgojitelji su ti koji mogu potaknuti dijete na to. Važno je da se kutak za osamu ne koristi kao mjesto na koje dijete ide za kaznu. Djecu treba naučiti kako koristiti taj prostor, unaprijed dogovarajući i stvarajući pravila. Kutak za osamu treba biti važan dio svake grupe, stalno ga modelirajući i uvodeći povremene izmjene kako bi djeci bilo zanimljivo i atraktivno. Igračke, glazba, knjige kao i mekano i ugodno okruženje mogu biti od velike pomoći u procesu smirivanja.

Abstract (english)

Early and preschool children often need a comfortable, quiet and sheltered place where they can relax and stay away from loud and / or overcrowded areas. It is necessary to teach children that going to a corner of solitude can help them feel comfortable and relaxed so they can enjoy the rest of the time spent in the kindergarten. A corner of solitude can help in situations where children feel anxious, and most often this is early in the morning when they arrive to kindergarten. It can also be during some very dynamic and noisy activities that don’t suit the child at that point. There are various strategies that can be used to create a cozy atmosphere in the corner of solitude. It is necessary to provide a ‘comfortable area’ that is easily accessible as it should allow all children to use it freely. It is important to provide a lot of soft surfaces, various toys, pillows, blankets ... It is also important to have a few books that children can watch or to have a speaker whic is used to play calming background music. The ability to regulate emotions is an important skill for early and preschool children. Some children may need more time to calm down, while other need less time. Younger children may cry a little, but later they will calm down and willingly join the rest of the group to participate in further activities. The corner of solitude needs to be presented as a quiet, sheltered place that a child can choose if it becomes upset or angry, but educators are also the ones who can encourage a child to do so. It is important that the corner is not used as a place where the child goes for punishment. Children need to be taught how to use that space, so it is important to create rules in advance. The corner of solitude needs to be an important part of each kindergarten group, constantly modeling it and occasional change it to make it interesting and attractive to children. Toys, music, books as well as comfortable environment can be of great help in the calming process.
