Formation of positive world perception in preschool children during wartime through art therapy means

Abstract

The article is devoted to researching the possibilities and
consequences of using art therapy as a means of forming a positive
worldview in preschool children in wartime conditions. The article
deals with practical issues of using art therapy. In the conditions of
modern wartime and dangers that can affect the mental health of
children, it is important to consider effective ways to strengthen
positive emotional states and internal resources in younger age
groups. The main psychological difficulties faced by children of
preschool age during wartime are identified – emotional stress,
anxiety and other psychologically destructive aspects. The influence
of art therapy techniques on the emotional state, social development
and general mental stability of children who survived the war was
analyzed. Special emphasis is placed on the ability of art to
stimulate creative expression, improve well-being and promote
psychological recovery. It helps children to experience difficult
situations and support psychosocial development. The article
examines the following forms of art therapy: isotherapy, music
therapy, sand therapy, bibliotherapy and fairy-tale therapy.
