The UCAM has begun this morning the School Coexistence Days, which will be taught throughout the day at the Jerónimos Campus.
This event aims to raise awareness of the problem of bullying in classrooms and the importance of teaching in the classroom, emotional intelligence and has been organized by the Degrees in Early Childhood and Primary Education of the University.
Carlos Hue, psychologist, doctor of Education and expert in emotional intelligence has ensured that there is a "main triangle" in which the aggressor, the victim and the spectator participate.
The aggressor is usually a child who needs to compensate for his lack of self-esteem and they choose him as the leader of the group.
The first phase of bullying is to ignore the victim, remove him from class and the rest of his classmates (spectators) follow him.
Afterwards, they proceed to insults, recordings with the mobile phone and may even end up in physical aggressions.
"Unfortunately, there are cases in which the last step is the suicide of the person assaulted," says psychologist Hué.
In order to put an end to these situations, the young people (spectators) must be taught not to be intimidated by the aggressor, that is, if the aggressor is left without anyone who follows him, he will leave his victims in peace.
"The spectators are the key to stopping bullying," clarifies the speaker.
Ana Peinado, PhD in Psychology, gives the presentation "The Rainbow of Emotional Education".
Hairstyle talks about how to introduce emotional intelligence in the classroom.
Some of the advantages of incorporating this technique in children is that they have higher self-esteem, better school qualification, in short, Peinado states that "we get happier children".
The Arco Iris program incorporates an emotional part within the subjects, for example, "if we studied Columbus in history, we also talked about how he felt", "part of the teachers' job is to introduce this material in the classroom" , clarifies Peinado.
