Very effective physical exercise based on the contrast of tension and relaxation. They allow you to relieve fatigue, increase muscle tone, and also weaken the effect of stress, distract from negative emotions. A classic example of such a procedure is an exercise in which you need to tense up, stretch up with force, and then relax and bend in half, as if falling. You can also ask the children, on command, to shrink, as if they are cold, and then quickly relax, as if it suddenly became hot.

It is also important to teach children to "meditate". The “swinging tree” exercise contributes well to this. Ask the children to imagine that their torso is the trunk, their legs are roots, their arms are branches, and their head is the top of a tree. Then, on a special command, the kids should begin to sway back and forth, from side to side, as if the wind is blowing on them. Such an exercise helps to calm down, concentrate on your feelings, relieve nervous tension and completely relax.

Features of relaxation exercises kindergarten lies in the fact that you need to teach kids to relax not only when the teacher asks for it or when there comes a moment of rest. Some time after the repetition of the procedures, the kids themselves should understand how they can regulate their mental balance, emotionally protect themselves, and at the same time monitor the state of their body and, if necessary, give the body a rest. These valuable skills will be very useful in later life.

Restoring peace of mind in the relaxation room

It is often difficult for babies to relax if a number of conditions are not created for this. The task of educators is to provide everything necessary so that each child finds exactly the element that helps him calm down. For visuals, these are carefully selected shades and textures, as well as an interior designed in accordance with the recommendations of child psychologists. For the auditory - gentle, quiet, soothing sounds. For kinesthetics - pleasant to the touch surfaces, soft objects.

In a corner or room for relaxation, it is appropriate to spend five minutes of rest. A good option procedures - ask the children to lie down, taking the most comfortable positions for them, and then close their eyes and relax. The teacher can ask the kids to relax the muscles of different parts of the body: for example, start at the fingertips and go up to the shoulders. It is advisable to ask the children to imagine something pleasant and relaxing. To enhance the effect, it is recommended to turn on quiet gentle music or sing along, quietly read a poem with a suitable text. This relaxation option will help children concentrate on sounds and sensations, listen to their body. After some time, with regular repetition of the procedure, the kids will learn to perform it themselves, without the support and instructions of the teacher.

Consultation for teachers with elements of a workshop

"Using the relaxation method in the work of a preschool teacher"

As part of the health-saving direction, kindergarten teachers are faced with the task of promoting the emotional well-being of participants in the educational process: children and parents. One of the working methods used in solving this problem is the relaxation method.

Relaxation exercises can be used with the following children:

∙ hyperactive, because according to the observations of psychologists and doctors, such children not only have difficulty managing their behavior, but also have poor command of own body not feeling it enough. Relaxation contributes to the development of focused attention, differentiated motor and mental reactions, which makes the psychomotor development of the child uniform. Thanks to relaxation, hypertonicity and hypotonicity of muscles are normalized, a feeling of one's body develops;

∙ prone to aggressive behavior, because they are often characterized by muscle clamps, especially in the face and hands;

∙ shy, because these children, despite external insensitivity, experience the same storm of emotions as other children, but cannot show them, react outwardly. This contributes to the fact that children “boil” inside and often turn this negative energy on themselves, which stimulates the development of auto-aggressive and neurotic manifestations (tics, tingling, etc.).

In addition, relaxation exercises are used in preparatory group. They may be included in different activities to prepare children for schooling, to restore working capacity, as well as for the purpose of the emotional development of the child. Active mental activity and the accompanying emotional experiences create excessive excitement in nervous system, which, accumulating, leads to tension in the muscles of the body. The ability to relax allows you to eliminate anxiety, agitation, stiffness, restores strength, increases energy.

For achievement maximum effect from relaxation exercises you need to know how to choose the right musical repertoire. Music should be calm, soothing, relaxing, it should not strain and cause irritation. These can be the sounds of nature: the sound of the sea, the splash of water, the murmur of a stream, the chirping of birds, etc. or just some light unobtrusive motive.

Relaxation exercises for preschoolers

Modern preschoolers are sometimes loaded no less than adults. Visiting kindergarten, various circles and sport sections, they receive a large amount of information, get tired physically and emotionally. After all, you need to be in time everywhere!
Such loads adversely affect the health of children. Therefore, it is so important to use relaxation exercises when working with preschoolers.

An active lifestyle, frequent stress in the family and at work often lead to overstrain, bad mood, and as a result, to depression. You need to learn how to relax and use the means of relaxation and meditation to combat "overload". But what to do if a very small child is overstressed, overexcited and it is difficult to calm down after active games and communication? How to defeat children's hyperexcitability?

For some reason, it is generally accepted that relaxation and meditation methods are shown only to adults. In fact, this is not entirely true. Yes, frankly, it is difficult to explain to a three-year-old child what meditation is. Therefore, the relaxation of children preschool age requires a special look and approach. The main thing is to use it correctly and skillfully.

The nervous system of a preschool child is far from perfect. It is difficult for children to control the processes of excitation and inhibition of the nervous system. This explains restless sleep or problems with falling asleep after active games. First of all, this applies to active children. But, despite this, there are many ways by which you can calm the "loosened" child.

For the formation of emotional stability of the child, it is important to teach him to control his body. In the process of development, education and training, children receive a huge amount of information that they need to learn. Active mental activity and accompanying emotional experiences create excessive excitation in the nervous system, which, accumulating, leads to tension in the muscles of the body. The ability to relax allows you to eliminate anxiety, agitation, stiffness, restores strength, increases energy.

Nevertheless, I will relax my lips, and I will leave the secret to myself.

"Evil has calmed down."

But a warm summer breeze blew, and the birds, along with its impulse, rushed to the murmuring forest stream.

Having learned to relax, each child receives what he previously lacked. This applies equally to any mental processes: cognitive, emotional or volitional. In the process of relaxation, the body redistributes energy in the best possible way and tries to bring the body to balance and harmony.
Relaxing, excited, restless children gradually become more balanced, attentive and patient. Children who are inhibited, constrained, lethargic and timid acquire confidence, vigor, freedom in expressing their feelings and thoughts.

We are tired - we need to sleep - we will lie down quietly on the bed

And we will sleep quietly.

The children lie on the carpet with their eyes closed. “Quiet, it became quiet all of a sudden. The sun has fallen asleep. The dandelion has been sleeping for a long time, and the grasshopper too. And the cuckoo doesn't care, she can't sleep. All ku-ku-ku-ku, echoes outside the window. I'll rest a little, and now I'll look out the window.

"Friendly Children"

The children lie on the carpet. “Friendly children in our garden, I really want to reassure them. Close your eyes friends and imagine. Lake, swans, beautiful sky. Well, now you imagine a wave. Here I want to douse you with it. Scary? Not at all. Lie still. Well, now open your eyes together.”

Flowers and flowers - I walk on the dew"

"Rain"

Children lie on the carpet, on their stomachs from the beginning with their eyes open. “Rain - drip-drip on the roof. It is no longer heard. Eyes close, meet the sun.

"Rest"

Children lie on the carpet with their eyes closed. “Birds sing from morning to evening. I like to listen when I have nothing to do. And now they sing and sing. I rest and think here.

Ways of relaxation with children in kindergarten

Breathing relaxation exercises.

Exercise helps you quickly calm down and pull yourself together.

Breathing exercise

Inhale, exhale slowly, then slowly take a deep breath.

Hold your breath for four seconds.

Exhale slowly again and slowly take a deep breath.

Hold your breath for four seconds and exhale.

Repeat this 6 times and you will find that you have become calmer and more unflappable.

Exercise "Blow out the candle"

Take a deep breath, drawing as much air into your lungs as possible.

Muscle relaxation exercises.

With regular classes, stress is removed and does not accumulate, sleep, mood and performance improve. Exercises for relaxing the muscles of the shoulder girdle and arms are suitable for children. Exercises are repeated 5-6 times.

Exercise "Shake off the water from the fingers"

The arms are bent at the elbows, palm down, the hands hanging down passively. Fast and continuous movement shake brushes like rags (5-10 seconds).

Before exercises, it is useful for children to tightly clench their hands into a fist so that the difference in the tense and relaxed state of the muscles is more clearly felt.

Exercise "Lemon"

Lower your hands down and imagine that there is a lemon in your right hand, from which you need to squeeze the juice.

Slowly clench your right hand as tightly as possible into a fist. Feel how tense your right hand is.

Then drop the "lemon" and relax your hand.

Do the same exercise with your left hand.

Performing an exercise with children can be accompanied by the following instruction poem:

I will take a lemon in my hand.

I feel like it's round.

I squeeze it a little -

I squeeze lemon juice.

All right, juice is ready.

I throw a lemon, relax my hand.

VISUALIZATION - VISUAL REPRESENTATIONS.

You bask on a fluffy cloud that gently envelops your body

You ride the waves and your body feels calm and weightless

You lie on the heated sand - on the sea or ocean coast, hear the light sound of the waves and feel the light and warmth of the sun's rays

You are a snowflake flying over a snowy forest.

Muscle relaxation exercises

(using visual images).

Exercise "Bird spreading its wings"

Imagine that you are a bird whose wings are tightly clenched. Connect the shoulder blades, tighten your back as much as you can. You feel tension. And now slowly, slowly, release your muscles. Your wings spread, become strong and light, weightless. You feel relaxed. Repeat the exercise 5-7 times.

Exercise "Inflating ball"

Imagine that you have a tightly inflated balloon. You are holding it in your hands. Feel its elastic surface. The balloon continues to inflate, you can hardly hold it, because it is rushing into the sky. Your fingers are tense. You are holding him with the last of your strength. Imagine that this ball is your problem. Let him go - let him fly. Put your hands on your knees. Close your eyes and take a deep breath in and a long breath out. And once again inhale and exhale. Breathe easily and calmly. Now stretch your whole body and open your eyes.

Thought exercises.

Favorite place.

Close your eyes. Focus on your breathing, breathe calmly and evenly, try to disconnect from the outside world. Imagine a place where you felt calm and comfortable (a clearing in a summer forest, a beach, your favorite room). Try to see it in detail. Gradually try to make the picture brighter, closer, bigger and observe the changes in your feelings, trying to achieve maximum relaxation and inner comfort. Remember this image. Each time it will be easier for you to call it, so you can quickly enter a state of relaxation.

Meeting with the sun.

Imagine that you are on the ocean. Quite recently, a storm raged here, but now the wind has died down, the ocean has calmed down, and only a slight swell on its surface reminds of what was happening. With every moment the water surface becomes calmer. The clouds dissolve and a clear and calm blue sky appears. You see how the edge of the orange ball is peeking out from behind the horizon - this is the sun. Then this ball rises higher and higher. He illuminates with his rays all nature, all living beings - people, animals, plants. Even the smallest creatures, invisible to our eyes, are illuminated by sunlight. The sun illuminates millions of people, and sends its beam to everyone. You feel how the sun's rays penetrate directly into your chest, into your heart - the center of your living "I". The sun shines brighter and you literally bathe in its golden glow. Visualize how its power penetrates and fills every cell of your body, renewing and strengthening it and giving you health and peace. Imagine that you will be completely saturated with golden solar energy. The sun is rising higher in the sky. Imagine how its rays diverge with majesty and power to bestow their light and warmth on all of humanity, all living things, including you. When the sunlight becomes very bright, protect your eyes by closing them slightly. Imagine how people literally bathe in sunlight filled with harmony and happiness.

Flight of a white bird.

Imagine that you are lying on warm yellow sand, with a calm, clear, blue sky above you. A white bird flies smoothly in the sky. You rise and fly beside her. You yourself are a white bird. You are flying in the blue sky, below you is a calm blue sea. A yellow sandy shore appeared in the distance, it is approaching. You fly up, land on the warm yellow sand, turn back into a human, and lie down on your back. You are lying on the warm yellow sand, you have a calm blue sky above you, you are relaxed, resting. A pleasant coolness touched your feet, it filled the muscles of your legs. Muscles are light and vigorous. Pleasant coolness filled the stomach, back muscles. Muscles are light and vigorous. A pleasant coolness filled his chest and arms. You can breathe easier. A pleasant coolness filled my neck and head. The head is clear and clean. Muscles are light and vigorous. Three deep breaths, you open your eyes and stand up. You rested!”

Amber Castle.

Today we will see the amber castle. With this thought, we hasten to the blue sea. Already from afar we see a goldfish. She, jumping out of the water, glows in the sun. The goldfish invites us to sink to the bottom of the sea. This is what we most wanted today. We take a deep breath and exhale slowly. Inhale - Exhale, inhale-exhale. A few moments - we are already in the sea kingdom, and not just anywhere, but on the seabed. We are interested in everything that surrounds us. Beneath us is white-white sand. It most likely looks like chalk. Rybka explains to us that the sand turns white in honor of the most honored guests, and we understand that she means us, and we break into a smile. The smile is not only on our lips, but everything inside of us smiles. Our body relaxes, and we are overwhelmed with an extraordinary feeling of warmth and love. Breathe easily, evenly deeply ... We are surrounded by unprecedented pink and lilac plants: their stems and leaves are so flexible that they move from the slightest movement of water. Coral white and turquoise reefs are located to our left. These are peculiar sea mountains, of such a bizarre configuration that it is difficult to take your eyes off them. We float above them, look at them from above. Ahead of us is a brightly lit space. This is the amber castle. It glows like a thousand little suns. And looking at him is a pleasure. This glow is addressed to us. Mysterious rays gently penetrate us and fill us with light. And we become little suns. Breathe easily, evenly, deeply. We return from the castle and give the warmth of a little sun to the people around us, flowers ...

Create the sun in you.

In nature there is a sun. It shines and loves and warms everyone. Let's create the sun in ourselves. Close your eyes, imagine a small star in your heart. Mentally direct to her a ray that brings love. We feel the star has grown. We direct a ray with goodness, the asterisk has become even larger. I send rays to the star that bring health, joy, warmth, light, tenderness, affection. Now the asterisk becomes big, like the sun. It brings warmth to everyone, everyone, everyone (hands to the sides).

Magic flower of kindness.

Put the flower of Kindness and good mood on both palms. Feel how it warms you: your hands, your body, your soul. From it emanates an amazing smell and pleasant music. And you want to listen to it. Mentally place all the goodness and good mood of this flower inside, in your heart. Feel how good enters you, brings you joy. You have new forces: the forces of health, happiness and joy. You feel how your body is filled with pleasure and joy. How pleasant to your face, how good and joyful it becomes to your soul. A warm, gentle breeze blows over you. You have a good, soul-warming mood. I want you to remember what you are feeling right now and take it with you as you leave this room. Warm feelings and good mood will continue to be with you. Open your eyes .. Look around ... Send each other good thoughts ... All the best to you!

Travel on the cloud.

I want to invite you on a journey on the cloud. Jump on a white fluffy cloud that looks like a soft mountain of fluffy pillows. Feel your legs, back, buttocks comfortably nestled on this large cloud pillow. Now the journey begins. Our cloud slowly rises into the blue sky. Can you feel the wind on your face? Here, high in the sky, everything is calm and quiet. May the cloud take us now to a place where we will be happy. Try to mentally "see" this place as accurately as possible. Something wonderful and magical can happen here. (Pause 30 seconds) Now you are back on your cloud, and it carries everyone back. To your place in the kindergarten group. Get off the cloud and thank him for giving everyone such a good ride. Now watch it slowly melt into the air. Stretch, straighten up and again be alert, fresh and attentive.

"NON-TRADITIONAL FORM OF HEALTH OF PRESCHOOL CHILDREN -

RELAXATION"

1. Explanatory note

4. Principles of wellness technology

6. Relaxation technique for preschool children

7. Expected results

Along with yogic gymnastics, it is also possible to use such a therapeutic method as relaxation in working with children. Relaxation is one of the ways to overcome internal tension, based on a more or less conscious relaxation of the muscles.

Even preschoolers living in the modern world experience increased mental and physical exercise: constant haste, anxiety, a stream of negative information from the TV screen, frequent infectious diseases, fatigue, leading to overstrain in the future. Teaching children relaxation methods, we help them relieve internal muscle tension, calm down, thereby bringing the nervous system and psyche to a normal state of rest. Teaching kids how to manage their feelings and emotions is another step towards building self-confidence.

It is important in the implementation of relaxation exercises that each action should give pleasant sensations and pleasure, contribute to good health. If an adult notices that any child experiences tension, fear, increased agitation after doing the exercises, then it is necessary to find out the reason and, if necessary, stop the exercises.

The reasons for the occurrence of such behavior can be different: misunderstood and, therefore, incorrectly performed exercises; the inadequacy of the child's psyche, which does not allow him to engage in relaxation in a team.

When compiling complexes for relaxation, it is necessary to take into account the specifics of children's perception. Due to the fact that preschoolers have a well-developed imagination and visual-figurative thinking prevails, it is desirable that the names of the exercises and their content be figurative. It is important to take into account the age characteristics of children. It will be much easier for children of five to six years old to relax and enjoy the exercises performed if the simulator is built in game form. It is advisable to use calm music when performing relaxation. It will help children to distract from extraneous thoughts and calm down. If one melody constantly accompanies the same exercise, then the body itself tunes in to perception, and after several workouts, relaxation occurs at the first sounds of music.

The purpose of relaxation is to help relieve internal muscle tension in children, bring the nervous system and psyche of preschoolers to a normal state of rest.

The use of yoga exercises and relaxation exercises in correctional and pedagogical work with children helps to solve the following tasks:

Strengthening physical health and the formation of a beautiful posture;

Formation of positive emotions and feelings.

PRINCIPLES OF HEALTH TECHNOLOGY

The main provisions that determine the content, organizational forms and methods of the educational process in accordance with common goals health-saving technologies are general methodological principles.

General principles include:

1. Consciousness - aims at the formation of understanding, sustainable interest, meaningful attitude in a preschooler; realizing the health-improving effect, the child learns to independently and creatively solve problems of a cognitive nature.

2. Activity - involves a high degree of initiative and creativity.

3. Systematism and consistency - implies the continuity of the process.

4. “Do no harm! »

5. Graduations.

6. Accessibility and individualization - takes into account the individual characteristics of children.

7. Cyclical - suggests a repeating sequence.

8. Health orientation - aimed at improving health in the process of education and training.

In moments of failures and troubles, it is necessary to teach children to tune in to positive illusions, beautiful fantasies. They will balance the severity of childhood adversity, teach you how to cope with small and big childish troubles. To do this, several times a day, you need to linger for a while on thinking about pleasant things. Let the kindest, most pleasant scenes appear in the imagination of the children, whether it be reality or fantasy (trainings "Toy Store", "Peace of the Summer Forest", "On a Flowering Meadow", etc.).

Relaxation exercises are performed in a quiet, calm environment.

It is better to relax with your eyes closed.

Depending on the conditions for applying these exercises, various postures are used: rest posture, diamond posture, etc.

While doing relaxation exercises, teach children to recognize the feeling of tension and relaxation.

Do not rush to finish the relaxation.

Children can lie down if they want.

You need to get out of this state slowly, calmly: first stretch, as if after waking up from sleep, then open your eyes and slowly sit down.

When using exercises to relax individual parts of the body, the previous type of activity of children is taken into account (for example, if there was drawing or application, then it is advisable to perform exercises to relax the muscles of the arms, back, neck).

The types of relaxation are very diverse: from simple to very complex and long in time.

The creation of an atmosphere of love and cheerfulness in the family and the kindergarten group will greatly contribute to the observance of the following rules by parents:

Rule 1. Teach children to meet the coming day only with a smile and good thoughts, because a morning smile charges you with vigor and good mood all day. A smile can save a child from many troubles, lend a helping hand, and the more kindly children learn to treat each other, the world, the more confident they will feel in life. Several times a day, invite the children to smile at each other, say: “I LOVE MYSELF, I LOVE FRIENDS, I LOVE EVERYONE, I LOVE THE WORLD! » This is especially useful when the children in the group are brewing or have already had a conflict.

Rule 2. Try to maintain an atmosphere of kindness, love and joy throughout the day.

Rule 3. The bad deeds of children should be discussed with them, help to comprehend them and draw a conclusion, and then forget about them. Children should always feel loved, good, talented, although their actions can sometimes be unsatisfactory. Educators and parents should allow children to sometimes make mistakes and at the same time not make a tragedy out of it.

Rule 4. Remembering with the children the past day or a longer period of time, pay special attention to good luck and success.

Rule 5. Remember that in order to maintain a positive attitude in children, their fantasies, dreams and dreams are no less important than the positive factors in their lives.

"Magic Bottles"

I made "magic bottles" from plastic bottles and various fillers. Children love to watch how, when turning over the gel, an air bubble slowly runs up, and beads, beads, etc. slowly fall down. Of course, the bottles are tightly sealed.

The first bottle is a light liquid soap, blue yellow beads.

The second bottle is an orange shower gel and small beads.

The third bottle - yellow shampoo with small buttons various shapes(hearts, triangles, squares, apples, etc.) and beads - pearls.

And the fourth and fifth turned out dark, because the beads dyed the pale purple shampoo.

Children really like to play with bottles, they turn them over by themselves. Watch for beads, beads and bubbles.

It is better not to evaluate the feelings of the child in such situations, because. it will only lead to misunderstanding and negativism. It is impossible to demand from a child not to experience what he experiences, feels; only the form of manifestation of his negative emotions can be limited. Our task is not to eradicate and suppress emotions, but to teach the child to feel and understand them, to show them in an acceptable form, to control their behavior, to “hear” their body.

3. Relaxation techniques related to art.

One of the main tasks of art is to give the soul joy and peace. Relaxation effect can be achievedwhen listeningspecially selected music, viewing pictures, photographs of natural landscapes, videos etc.

The process of relaxation training according to the proposed system is conditionally divided into three stages:

Stage 1 – muscle relaxation in contrast to tension;

2 - stage - muscle relaxation according to the presentation; suggestion of peace and relaxation;

3 - stage - suggestion of muscle and emotional relaxation, the introduction of correct speech formulas.

At the first stage the teacher explains to the children what the resting position is, what is the purpose of the first game, describes the necessary actions. The guys do not repeat the text of rhymes aloud.

Intonation, slow pace the speeches of the presenter should contribute to the presentation of pleasant sensations from muscle relaxation, create an idea of ​​relaxation and calmness.

At the second stage you can move on to relaxing the muscles of the speech apparatus and suggestion formulas that reinforce feelings of relaxation and calmness. The voice of the educator should be quiet, soothing, speech - clear, unhurried. After each stanza, semantic pauses are somewhat lengthened. The logical accents are clear. Suggestion is most effective if the facilitator himself evokes the same sensations. which he seeks in children.

Practice has shown that the exit from the state of relaxation should always be the same and gradual. Therefore, especially at first, children should be reminded: "Follow commands exactly, do not open your eyes ahead of time." The last phrases (bringing out of the state of relaxation) are pronounced loudly, cheerfully and a little faster.

By the end of the second stage the teacher evokes in the children a figurative idea of ​​relaxation and calmness: it is suggested to remember how they sunbathed on the banks of the river, lay on the grass, felt the warmth of the sun's rays. In order to enhance the state of relaxation, a comparison of the type is introduced in the suggestion session: “as if we are lying on grass, on green, soft grass ...”.
