Ukranian Christmas Wording
The turtle technique was developed by Schneider and Robin (1990) for the child develop self-management skills of disruptive and aggressive behaviors, like pushing, swearing, put tripping, punching, kicking ... It is similar to the technique of anger Hugues (1988), but applicable to younger children, may be used primarily for preschool children and junior primary school.
The basic objective of this technique is easy to apply subject is to provide means for them to channel their own anger. That is, before provocation or conflict situations which lead them to respond with aggressive behavior, the turtle technique aims to teach children to control this aggression, to properly analyze situations and respond to them in a self-controlled. The training takes place in 4 phases that occur over 6 weeks and that can be implemented in the classroom by teachers themselves. In particular, the development of each phase includes:
- In the first phase (weeks 1 and 2) the child is taught to respond to the word "turtle" closing his eyes, sticking their arms to the body, lowering her head at the same time puts it between his shoulders, and falling back like a turtle in its shell. - In the second phase (weeks 3 and 4) the child learns to relax. To this end, every muscle tense while in turtle position, maintaining tension for a few seconds and then relax while all the muscles.
- The third phase (week 5) aims to achieve widespread use in the turtle position and relaxation to different contexts and situations.
- The last phase (week 6) is devoted to teaching strategies for solving interpersonal problems.
It is very useful teaching technique Turtle children in story form that is widening throughout the treatment:
"Sometimes your parents or teacher may ask you to do something and when you do not get angry. When this happens you will get mad because you think they'll have a hobby. 
In this situation it is good to remember how to solve their problems turtles.
You know what they do?. Then they get into their shells. I'll tell you what he did a turtle named Pepe in a difficult situation. long time ago there was a beautiful tortufa had (4,5,6,7,8) years and whose name was Pepe. She did not like going to school too.'d rather be home with his younger brother and his mother. He did not like learning things in school. He preferred to run and play. It was too heavy to make cards and copying from the board. He did not like listening to the teacher, it was more fun to make car noises and never remembered what they had to do. Pepe what he liked was entangled with the other students, interfere with them and jokes. Every day, on my way to school, it was said he would try to stay out of trouble, but then it was easy for someone to do to lose control, and finally angry, he fought and the teacher scolded or punished him. "Always in trouble," he thought. In this situation it is good to remember how to solve their problems turtles. "As this continues I to end up hating the school and all. "Tortoise went very, very bad.
A worse day than he was found old Mr. Turtle, the wisest of the place. When Mr. Turtle saw Pepe asked why I was so sad, and Pepe told him what was wrong, I always got into trouble and that he misbehaved without knowing why. Mr. Turtle smiled and said he understood what he had said it long ago, before it was so wise, he also became angry when he did things that were not right. Pepe was surprised and asked how he learned to behave. Mr. Turtle said, "Well, Joe, I learned to use my natural protection, my shell." "You also can hide in your shell if you have feelings of anger, when you feel like screaming, hitting, breaking things. When you're in your shell you can rest until you no longer feel so angry. So the next time angry! Get into your shell!.
Mr. Turtle told Pepe he had learned to control themselves in difficult situations, getting into his shell, breathe deeply and relax (loosen all your muscles, leaving hands and feet dangling, ignoring no force with your gut, breathing slowly deep). Besides, he thought things pretty and nice as she was relaxing.
After thinking about the situation in which he was and how to solve it. It raised four or five ideas and imagine what would happen if put into practice each of these things. Finally selected the best. That's how he became wise. Well, Joe is really excited about the idea. It was more comfortable to school every day because he had many friends and his teacher and his parents were very happy with it. Pepe continued to practice how to solve difficult situations until you really did well. You can also do what Pepe. When you are very angry and see that you are getting into trouble, you can isolate yourself in your shell, relax and decide what you should do. "
