1) Mouse and cat game

5 min

 

They loved it.  The mood was good.

 

2) Sotar and Ulie made a drama on a difficult situation to talk about:

If they didn’t allow them to go outside, no permission.

The kids wrote on a post-it what they thought about the situation if they were the child (anonymously).

Then we discussed about which thoughts are “helping” and“non-helping”

 

Question: What do you do to feel better?

 

•
A: shares with staff
•
D: asks friends to ran away together
•
N: bad behaviour towards staff

 

Question: Why are you not allowed to go outside the gate?

 

1. Because it's dangerous out there

2. There are troubles outside

3. Staff is afraid that kids will be tempted to run away (no trust)

4. Annoyed because no permission to go out and play soccer

5. Perhaps allowed to go out another time

6. Afraid that something bad would happen to the kids

7. Afraid that kids will disappear

8. Fear of bad behaviour. Staff cares about the kids.

 

Any helpful thoughts:

 

•
Perhaps it' dangerous outside
•
Afraid of car-motor accident outside

 

R plays soccer outside, but is actually not allowed. (Felt as usual, perhaps a bit anxious outside)

 

3) DRAMA with the kids:

 

R wanted to go out to buy snacks.

 

•
Annoyed, wanted to climb the wall.
•
J was afraid that something will happen
•
S: afraid that snacks from outside aren’t good

 

Ways for the kids to feel better:

 

•
Sharing with a friend
•
Playing with a friend
•
Thinking: next time it will be allowed

 

Sotar thought: "If I went to play outside for a long period of time, the staff of KDM would be concerned, so it’s better if he plays with F to feel better."

 

Drama 2: Sotar, Uly, Susanne 

Susanne arrived and she brought a clothes donation for children. Sotar came in and he wanted them, but he wasn’t allowed.

 

Non-helpful thoughts by D:

 

•
Staff is stingy
•
Annoyed because he didn’t get anything
•
Angry, because he didn’t get the nice clothes, but gets the ugly ones
•
Afraid that he wouldn’t get any nice clothes
•
Jealous, because he didn’t get the nice clothes

 

Helpful thoughts by S

 

•
Happy because of the donation. Perhaps he couldn't choose any nice clothes now, but maybe later
•
Annoyed because she didn’t get anything, but she realized that if she had gotten stuff now, it wouldn'thave been fair towards the other kids

- SNACK TIME -

 

Dance on Irish theme, 8 steps:

D and most of the kids didn’t focus and they didn’t follow the instructions. Sara decided to stop the activity.

 

Balloon game (sitting on a balloon, half blown):

At the beginning you felt stressed because you thought that this was going to brake-blow up, body, physical reactions (sweating hands, muscles tight)

Emotion reactions (afraid, insecure).

As soon as you realize that the balloon is not going to brake you feel normal, and even playful.

 

Goal:

The way you think influences a lot how you feel physically and emotionally, moreover, it even influences what you do.

 

•
A: soft feeling
•
N: felt nice
•
M: chewy
•
T, S, I, L: heart beats was faster
•
A: heart beats was slower
•
T, L, S, Fe: hands felt tight

 

Bouncing on balloon:

•
S: afraid it would burst
•
A: nice
•
I: afraid it would burst
•
L: afraid it would explode
•
D: comfortable
•
M: nice

 

Kids who are afraid the balloon would burst:

T, S, L, I, N

- Heart beats faster

- Sweaty hands

- Wanted to hold on to something

 

If it felt comfortable (because already sit on balloon for awhile):

- A, D: because they were already used to it

- I: because it didn't burst

- J: because the balloon was small

- F: already good at sitting on balloon

- D: because it felt comfortable

 

It was the same action that we did: just sitting on the balloon.

When starting, we may be afraid, but after we get used to it, we won’t be afraid anymore. Once we're not afraid, we will start to be braver and press the balloon, because we know that it won't burst.

 

Glass falling activity

Ulie pretended to sleep when suddenly a strong sound (crash) was heard.

She did it twice:

- Thinking that it's a thief

- Thinking that it's a cat

 

The way you think influences the way you feel and the way you act.

 

Asked the kids to take her place and showed what theywould do.

 

•
A: 1 afraid, 2 felt normal
•
J: 1 afraid, 2 normal
•
I: 1 there was a thief. 2 a cat
•
S: 1 scared, wanted to call the police but she didn’thave a number 2 felt normal, she went back to sleep
•
D: 1 panicked, took his hand-phone 2. He woke up, then he went back to sleep
•
T: 1. Panicked when she woke up. 2 she woke up then she went back to sleep

The way you think changes what you feel and what you do

kamu rasakan dan lakukan"
