Psicoeducación en la autoestima para niños de 5 a 10 años en la Institución Libertador Bolívar

Abstract

The present work of systematization of experiences is entitled Psychoeducation in self-esteem for children from 5 to 10 years old in the Libertador Bolívar institution, which is located in Chongón, Ecuador, where the main objective is to characterize psychoeducation in self-esteem in children from 5 to 10 years old in the Libertador Bolívar institution, to understand more deeply our experiences and thus be able to improve them. A qualitative methodology was used, aimed at psychoeducational intervention with a cognitive behavioral approach. This methodology allowed to capture the perceptions and experiences of children in depth in six training sessions that have a focus group, workshops and activities specifically designed to address self-esteem in a school context. The analysis of the systematization revealed that the interventions carried out achieved a positive impact on the self-esteem of the participating children. The organized structure of the activities and the personalized approach contributed to the children developing greater self-confidence and improving their social interaction and academic performance. Furthermore, systematization allowed us to identify best practices and areas for improvement, which is essential for future applications of this type of intervention in other educational contexts. The lessons learned underlined the importance of collaboration between the different actors in the educational environment, including teachers, parents and the children themselves. The flexibility and adaptability of the interventions proved to be key to their success, allowing activities to be adjusted to the individual needs of the students. In addition, the need to continue promoting psychoeducation as a fundamental tool to strengthen self-esteem from an early age, contributing to the comprehensive well-being of children, was recognized.
