“…There is great potential for EC professionals to help mitigate the impact of trauma exposures on child development by establishing supportive, trusting caregiver relationships and by promoting emotion regulation skills that can help build individual child resilience [9-11, 13, 15].

“…Від початку війни у 2014 р. психологічними службами у вітчизняному освітньому просторі напрацьовано окремі підходи до організації освітнього процесу в умовах війни, а також надання соціально-педагогічної підтримки дітям, які опинилися у складних життєвих обставинах внаслідок військових дій [22, С. [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17]. Окрім цього, увагу дослідників привертало дотримання нормативно-правових вимог до організації освітнього процесу, використання ігрових технологій навчання, надання необхідної підтримки всім учасникам освітнього процесу, та налагодження комунікації між учасниками освітнього процесу [27]; застосування окремих технік психологічної терапії [23]; хібукі-терапія [20] тощо.…”
