Emotions are very important for child's comprehensive development. Most of the children spend at least half of the day in preschool, that is why it is important that not only parents, but also educational workers in preschool, have the appropriate approach to each child the expressed emotion.
In my degree, I was wondering if educational workers in preschool observed only on basic emotions or on emotions of self-awareness as well, which including shame and pride and how children respond to emotions. For shame and pride I was also interested in more detail and in which situations by educators in preeschool are observed and how useful they seem. In the research I used a questionnaire. Respondent's sample includes 40 educational workers from childcare institution Radovljica, which working with children in both age groups.
I found out that the educational workers in preschool notice basic emotions more often than emotions of self-awareness and that they talk with children more about them, most when children express emotion. Educational workers feelings, repeatedly observed at of non-verbal communication (facial expressions), then in form of verbal.
According to the respondents, children shame show rarely, mostly when they pee their pants and feeling of pride sometimes, usually when independently perform an activity. The majority of respondents believe, that the emotion of shame as well as pride, are very usefull for the children. Activities for understanding the emotion of shame, that educational workers perform with children are reading proper literature, social games, art and dance activities; and for understanding the emotion of pride activities with didactic games, performance in front of the group, visiting cultural performances and a story about experiencing emotions.
