Abstract:
[When working with children who have already formed model of “victim” behavior, preventive trainings for communication, personal growth, confident behavior, prevention of addictive behavior, and leisure activities are important. The main method of working here is the use of game methods and techniques. Practice has shown its success in resolving a variety of problems: correction of parent-child relationships, interpersonal, fears, phobias, neurotic disorders, school failure, increased confidence, maladaptive behavior. In game situation, changes in behavior and personal characteristics occur involuntarily, imperceptibly, without the need for self-reflection. This is especially important for the self-preservation of the adolescent's personality, since during puberty they sharply react to criticism addressed to themselves and to any characteristics of their personality. Play liberates, relieves stress, unobtrusively teaches and forms new patterns of behavior. Of course, any adult leader must control the game situation and reflect on it.]
