The Touch in Schools. A New Strategy for Protecting Against Bullying in Children's Groups

It is no secret that the atmosphere in schools, as a whole, is not positive; children do not know how to communicate kindly, and bullying, fights, and mockery of the chosen victim in the class are common. Alarming symptoms of a global crisis in the school education system around the world include an increase in the number of children with mental illnesses, more frequent cases of student expulsion, and a rise in child and adolescent suicides. The book shows how the widespread implementation of the method of positive touch, movement, and other forms of activity in school programs leads to radical changes in children's emotional well-being. The program presented in the book teaches children the basics of simple massage, which they perform on each other. This allows children to establish positive connections with one another in a playful, natural way, creating a healthy atmosphere in the classroom.
