Bulgarian Association for Development of Psychomotricity in partnership with Deutsche Akademie – Aktionskreis Psychomotorik (dakp) and Center for Child Development “Psychomotricity for all children” organize a public online lecture “Dealing with challenging behaviour of children”, presented by Prof. Dr. Amara Renate Eckert.
Children who we feel provoked by and who disturb our order and rules can be separated out, put outside the door.
But we can also take a different perspective and try to find out what they want to express with their behavior.
Meaning-understanding and trauma-oriented psychomotor approaches have body-oriented methods to explore these questions and find new answers to children’s challenging behavior.
This lecture will report on this with the help of examples. Afterwards there will be enough time for questions from participants.
Prof. Dr. Amara Eckert works in the fields of psychomotor therapy, body psychotherapy and pre- and perinatal psychology and trauma. She was Professor of “Psychomotricity, Sports and Movement Education” for 21 years at the University of Applied Sciences in Darmstadt, Germany in the Department of Social and Cultural Sciences and Social Work (1996-2017). She is a researcher in the fields of emotions, psychomotricity and child development, as well as pre- and perinatal experiences that can be found in play and body expression of young children. Since October 2020 Prof. Eckert is a member of the Scientific Board of the Bulgarian Association for Development of Psychomotricity.
Working language: English with Bulgarian translation.
