Abstract:

The article highlights the interaction of preschool and primary education in the formation of health-saving competence of children using art therapy. The classification of health-saving technologies in education, types of health-saving technologies (medical and preventive technologies, physical culture and health-improving technologies, technologies for ensuring the social and psychological well-being of the child) is determined. A set of tasks for planning the health-saving system is determined.

It is very important that each of the technologies has a health-saving orientation, and the health-saving activities used in the complex would ultimately form a stable motivation in the child for a healthy lifestyle, full and uncomplicated development.

To carry out successful health-preserving work, it is necessary to: teach children elementary techniques of a healthy lifestyle, work with the family, work with the teaching staff. The effectiveness of various health-promoting activities that are part of health-preserving technology for children is determined not so much by the quality of each of these techniques and methods, but by their competent «coordination» in the general system aimed at the health of children and teachers. The choice of health-preserving technologies depends on the program that teachers work on, the specific conditions of the educational institution, the professional competence of teachers, as well as the indicators of children’s morbidity.

Psychotherapeutic work with children requires the teacher not only delicacy and caution, but also the use of special methods of work. Not all psychotherapy methods that are suitable for an adult are equally good for a child. A child has a different type of perception and thinking, children are more emotional by nature and are guided not by reason, but by feelings. One of the safest methods is art therapy. The principles of art therapy classes are determined.

Keywords: preschool and primary education, health-preserving competence, children, art therapy.
