AS A
TRADITION WE USED TO OPEN OWN CHRISTMAS CALENDAR DURING DECEMBER - IN PRE
SCHOOL IT USED TO BE A SMALL GIFT FOR EACH CHILD. AS CHILDREN HAS THEIR OWN
CALENDARS WITH TOYS AND CHOCOLATE AT HOMES WE STARTED TO THINK WHAT ELSE COULD
WE SERVE INSTEAD OF MATERIAL GIFT. WE GOT AN IDEA OF “GOOD WILL”-CHAIR: EVERY
DAY ONE CHILD HAS HIS/HER TURN TO SIT DOWN IN THIS CHAIR WHILE OTHER CHILDREN
THINK ABOUT POSITIVE THINGS OF HIM/HER. CHILDREN TELL ALL POSITIVE THINGS OR
SKILLS TO THAT ONE, WHOSE TURN IS TO SIT DOWN IN A “GOOD WILL”-CHAIR. AS A MEMORY TO TAKE HOME, THIS CHILD WILL HAVE A HAND MADE SNOWFLAKE WITH A DATE NUMBER.
THIS YEAR THE "GOOD WILL"-CALENDAR HAS
POINTED OUT TO BE A SUCCES: CHILDREN HAVE NO PROBLEMS IN FINDING SOMETHING NICE
TO SAY TO EVERYONE. ACTUALLY THEY ARE VERY SHARP-EYED IN THEIR COMMENTS AND
HAVE NOTICED CAREFULLY EACH OTHER’S STRENGTHS AND SKILLS. THEY HAVE MENTIONED
THINGS LIKE THIS: “YOU ARE A NICE FRIEND, AS YOU COME TO PLAY WITH ME”, “IT’S
NICE TO PLAY WITH YOU”, “YOU ARE NICE”, “I LIKE TO PLAY WITH YOU, BECAUSE YOU
HAVE A GOOD IMAGINATION”, “YOU HAVE A GOOD SENSE OF HUMOR”, “YOU LET ME JOIN
YOUR PLAYING”, “YOU ARE CUTE”, “I LIKE YOUR FRECKLES ON YOUR NOSE”, “YOU ARE
GOOD AT FOOTBALL”, “YOU ARE GOOD AT HANDICRAFTS” ETC.
IT'S HIS TURN TO HEAR NICE THINGS!
WAITING FOR THE TURN TO SPEAK
