Socio-pedagogical support of anxious children from internally displaced families

Abstract

The paper deals with the issue of socio-pedagogical support for 6-9-year-old anxious children from internally dis-placed families living in areas of compact settlement. This category of children is special and needs corresponding support. The aim of the research is to reveal the results of the implementation of the program of socio-pedagogical support for this category of children. The suggested program consists of three units each of which is focused on the work with social teachers, anxious children, and their parents. The experimental verification of the program was carried out involving 12 children with a high anxiety level, and their parents. The respondents were divided into control and experimental groups. The experimental group was engaged to take part in the experimental program. After its implementation into the educational process of the experimental group, positive dynamics in the reduction of anxiety level in experimental group children could be observed, as distinct from the control one, which is indicative of the effectiveness of the suggested socio-pedagogical support of anxious children from internally displaced families.
