Dooli
Dooli is the new class tool to help kindergarten teachers to teach emotional education to children
Dooli introduces himself to the class through a story that tells how he learned to control his emotions and to know what she feels and why.
Children will love the book and will quickly understand the group dynamics that their teacher will explain to them.
The game consists of children imitating Dooli as a group, while Dooli does the three best exercises to learn autonomy of emotions.
The first one is about the turtle technique, with which they contract and relax all the muscles, this calms active anxiety. The second is to see how Dooli breathes and breathe and practice mindfullness with him, this calms passive anxiety. And the last exercise is to dance with Dooli ! Children will see how it wobbles thanks to its low center of gravity. They will only imitate it from the site generating serotonin and doing an exercise of inclusiveness and loss of shame, which will help them to be happier and emotionally healthy.
