Masaže za otroke v predšolskem obdobju : diplomska naloga

Humar, Irena (avtor), Schmidt, Gordana (mentor)

Otroci, ki so sodelovali pri praktičnem delu diplomske naloge, so bili stari 2–4 leta. Ker je bila to skupina, kjer so bili otroci različnih starosti, so bile masaže, ki sem jih izvajala, še bolj zanimive. Pri izvedbi dejavnosti so se prepletala različna področja. Z izvedbo masaž sem želela doseči, da bi se otroci sprostili in pri tem izrazili svoja čustva. Posledica vsega tega naj bi bila tudi boljša komunikacija v skupini in manjša prisotnost agresije. Pred izvedbo masaž, ki sem jih izvajala, so se otroci s tem področjem plesne vzgoje srečali le občasno. Ob pisanju diplomske naloge sem si dejavnosti zastavila tako, da jo bodo otroci izvajali dva do trikrat na teden. Ponudila sem jim masaže, ki so že zapisane, nekatere pa so plod mojih idej. Ko sem z otroki izvajala masaže dlje časa, sem hotela videti njihov odziv in motiviranost. Po večmesečnem izvajanju sem lažje ocenila, na kakšen način otrokom masaže bolj približati. Ugotovila sem, da so za kakovostnejšo izvedbo potrebni čas, prilagajanje in čustvena navezanost med celo skupino in menoj. V teoretičnem delu sem predstavila različne poglede teoretikov. Vsi se strinjajo, da masaže pomagajo ljudem pri odpravljanju stresa, in sicer ne glede na njihovo starost. Zmanjšujejo agresivnost do sebe in drugih, izboljšajo medosebno komunikacijo in odnose. Po masažah so ljudje umirjeni, sproščeni in zadovoljni. Njihova ustvarjalnost pri reševanju različnih nalog in ustvarjanju na različnih področjih se v veliki meri poveča. Enako velja tudi za otroke. V empiričnem delu sem opisala petindvajset načrtovanih dejavnosti. Masaže sem izvajala šest mesecev. Vsako masažo sem izvedla dvakrat. Priprave zajemajo potek dejavnosti, predstavitev skupine, opis ponovne izvedbe masaž, cilje, področja, metode in evalvacijo vsake masaže. Potrdila sem, da so masaže v veliki meri izboljšale odnose med otroki, zmanjšale agresivnost. Po masažah so otroci bolj zbrano in ustvarjalno sodelovali pri naslednjih dejavnostih.

Izvleček

Children, that were participating in the practical part of my thesis, are two to four years old. This was a group of children of different age, consequently making the massages I was implementing more interesting. Different areas came together with the implementation of the activity. With giving a massage my goal was to relax the children and help them share their feelings. The outcome of that was better communication in the group and less aggression present. Before massaging, the children encountered this section of dance education only occasionally. The part of the thesis, I set myself the activities so that the children will be performed two to three times a week. I offered them massages that are already known, and some, that were my idea. After having performed massages for an extended period of time, I wanted to see the children's reaction and motivation level. In a couple of months it was easier to evaluate how to bring massages closer to children. I discovered that quality comes from time, adaptation and emotional attachment between the group and myself. In theoretical part, I present different views of theorists. All agree the massages help to cope with stress people irrespective of their age. It reduces aggression towards oneself and others, improve interpersonal communication and relationships. After the massage, people are calm, relaxed and happy. Their creativity in solving various tasks and creating in various fields in largely increasd. The same is true for children. In the practical part, I described twenty-five planned activities. Massages were implemented for a period of six months. Each massage was given twice. Preparations include: the course of activity, introduction of the group, description of a repeated massage procedure, goals, fields, methods and evaluation of every massage. I confirmed that massages largely improve relations between children, reduce aggression. After the massage, children are more creative collected and participated in the following activities.
