How to Develop Rational and Emotional Thinking
This book is the Italian adaptation of PALS/Positive
Approach to Life Situations. This program, designed for students between 10
and 13 years of age, provides a series of learning experiences that can help
children to overcome problems such as low self-esteem, a pessimistic vision
of life, lack of motivation and lack of confidence in one's own resources.
The course is divided into 10 units, each lasting one hour and containing materials
for the teacher, the parents and the students. The life situations approached
by the course are the following: how to recognize one's own emotions; how to
be aware of one's thoughts when facing unpleasant circumstances; how to realize
that emotions are determined by the way in which we interpret reality; how
to see negative events as specific incidents that can be modified; how to change
a negative perception of one's personality, of future and of the world; how
to substitute pessimistic thoughts with positive ones.
The book also contains some questionnaires that can be used to measure the
change in children's self-representation before and after the training program.
