I work as a psychologist at the lyceum. And, of course, due to my work, I communicate a lot with children and their parents: I attend parent-teacher meetings, give lectures, and work individually on pressing topics. And in the last 2-3 years, the topic of “unmotivated” children has become an acute issue. This means that already, going to first grade, the child does not want to attend school, does not want to study and participate in the life of the class. This article was born from a request from parents, which so and it sounds: “how to help a child fall in love with school?” Any psychologist will say: “Start with yourself!” Okay, but how to start when this very school in a parent’s life has long passed and all that remains is experience and its echoes. Here's how...Ask yourself a question: do I love school? What answer? If the answer is negative, then I suggest you work with him.1. Let's do Jung's association test. We need to understand the reason for the negative attitude towards school, and for this we will use a test, which is also called Jung’s 16 associations. The test helps to find the connection between the external manifestation of the problem - in our case, “dislike for school” and its cause. We gradually pull out from the subconscious what triggered this attitude in us. Below is a diagram of the method, it is very simple. As a result of the associative chain, we get the “Main Word”, the starting point with which to work. 2. Actually working with the Main word. I propose to work here with the beliefs that are born in the head when this word is mentioned. Essentially, this is working with limiting settings.1. We write a belief. 2. We write answers to the questions: * how did you know that this belief is true? * what are the results or consequences of this belief? * how do you feel when you say this belief? 3. Read the answers to the questions again and decide whether this belief is really dear to you or whether you want to change it?4. Formulate a new enabling belief: “I can...” “I want...” “I have the right to...”5. Accept and believe in this belief. If you have worked really well and honestly with associations and beliefs, then your attitude towards school has already begun to change or has changed, and you can honestly, consciously or unconsciously, transmit it to your child. Take action! And you will succeed!
