The project of students of Kalmykia will help parents to understand child anxiety

The grant project “Guide for parents of anxious children” was launched. He won the competition “Fair of Student Scientific Projects” with the support of B. B. Gorodovikov Kalmyk State University.

The team of the Faculty of Pedagogical Education creates a digital resource for the diagnosis and prevention of anxiety in children aged 7-10 years.

As the students noted, anxiety is one of the frequent problems of modern childhood. The child cannot always explain what is bothering him. Fear of making mistakes, reluctance to go to school, sleep disturbances, irritability or isolation can all be signals of emotional distress. The project aims to make psychological information and primary diagnostic tools understandable and accessible to parents.

The team is currently developing a website called “A Guide for Parents of Anxious Children.” It will feature materials on children's anxiety, diagnostic techniques, practical exercises, recommendations for parents and a diary of emotions to monitor the child's condition. Participants study existing psychological approaches and adapt them for home use. After testing, the resource will be modified taking into account feedback.

Scientific support of the project is carried out by university teachers.
