Fostering positive emotional development in children, allowing them to develop care and respect for themselves and others, is critical for them to become emotionally intelligent adults. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

But we increasingly read that it is difficult for children to achieve this balance. Despite all the good initiatives, bullying in and out of school is still commonplace.<\/p>\n

This is why Okidoo, in collaboration with the principals of participating schools, organizes preventive emo-social trainings to prevent psychological problems and violence. This benefits society and the economy, but especially children and youth.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The mission of Okidoo, with the support of Kiwanis, is to give all elementary school children access to social-emotional training, whether or not it is an integral part of the school curriculum.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

A PROJECT FOR ELEMENTARY SCHOOL CHILDREN<\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tOkidoo is a coaching program for children ages 6 to 12 for which elementary school can enroll. The program schedules a number of sessions per school year for several consecutive school years. Concrete is about improving concentration, learning to be more aware of emotions, increasing self-confidence and self-acceptance, and ultimately becoming more resilient to the stresses of this society.\n\nThese challenges are best addressed at an early age so that schools can play a preventive role in preventing bullying, violence, psychological problems, depression, ……\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Today, this project is being implemented in 12 elementary school in the Ostend region.
But Okidoo is very ambitious and the goal is to roll it out further on a provincial, and why not national level, and to train more trainers to strengthen the current three.<\/p>\n

Kiwanis will continue to fully support this action and, as future plans make clear, support is needed to keep even more children off this vital project.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
