Pedagogical Analysis

The paper gives an overview of the 14th interdisciplinary conference The Importance of Taking Risks held by the Welsh branch of the International Play Association. The meeting focused on various aspects of supporting children’s play and on the role of risk in child development. The conference had a clear multidis- ciplinary character and brought together specialists from a variety of fields: psychologists, teachers, social workers, experts in risk assessment, and health care professionals. The paper outlines how risk is understood in modern western theory and practice and distinguishes between risk and danger. A child must be taught to assess situations as safe or dangerous. However, modern developmental environment tends to reduce the possibility of risks for the child, which deprives him/her of the natural means of learning about the world and reduces creativity and independence and holds back the child’s self-regulation, prolonging compelled dependence and making children more infantile. The conference also involved discussions concerning tech- niques for risk assessment and a number of prevention programmes and practices. This work was supported by the Russian Foundation for Humanities (project No 15-06-10627 “Psychological and pedagogical analysis of children’s play environment of the modern city”).

Regulation Development

The article touches upon the issue of self-regulation development in preschool children. Play is one of the effective means in development of children’s selfregulatory skills. The aim of the study is to determinate playing conditions conducive to the development of self-regulation in preschoolers. The problem analysis method was used, as well as the modeling method during the study. We have analyzed the scientific works of native and foreign researchers on the issues of children’s play (A. Ivrendi, D. B Elkonin, E. Danniels, etc.) and mental states and self-regulation (V. N. Myasishchev, N. D. Levitov, A. O. Prokhorov and others). Based on the analysis, the study substantiates the need to teach the child self-regulation skills in psycho-emotional stress situations. At the same time, much attention is given to the fact that the acquisition of the skill is impossible without the participation of an adult or a teacher. Areview of studies on the possibilities of children’s play has made it possible to identify a number of conditions conducive to the development of self-regulatory skills: possibility to play a certain role (imitative effect), phasing of play actions, ability for a child to make their own decision, etc. We articulate and validate the need for the following conditions of self-regulation development in preschool children based on modeling the game situation. 1. In a play the child should be able to play several roles in turn. This allows the child to experience different emotions and understand the other person. 2. Introduction of playing element — pauses (time-outs). It allows to reduce the emotional «degree» during the play. 3. Positive reinforcement of the correct actions and emotional manifestations of the child by the adult. It helps the child to learn socially approved actions.

AbstractAlthough many children adopted internationally show remarkable recovery once placed in families, as a group they continue to exhibit persisting developmental deficits and delays in self-regulation. The current study uses a stratified, randomized, controlled trial to evaluate the effects of mindfulness-based and executive function trainings (EFTs) on internationally adopted (IA) children's self-regulation, including effortful/inhibitory control, attention, delay of gratification, and emotion-regulation. IA children ages 6–10 years were randomized into mindfulness training (MT), EFT, or no intervention (NI) groups. The MT and EFT groups attended 12 one-hour group sessions. Ninety-six children (MT, n = 33; EFT, n = 32; NI, n = 31) completed the study and were tested on computerized and non-computerized measures of self-regulation. Compared with the NI group, the MT group improved delay of gratification, and the EFT group improved inhibitory control and selective attention. There was no effect of either intervention on emotion regulation. MTs and EFTs show promise for improving self-regulation in IA children.
