Primary Management – Transactional Analysis
I was amazed to find another really interesting TA related video. What is even more amazing is to see that people do teach TA in school.
Here is the synopsis of the video:
The pupils and staff of Grange Middle School in Harrow use transactional analysis to help to develop emotional literacy and improve behaviour.
Transactional Analysis is used by psychologists in counseling and has recently gained popularity in schools. It is based on Freudian theory and works by developing recognition of three ego states: parent, adult and child. Children can identify which ego state they are using at any one time and whether it is the most appropriate state for the given circumstance.
Transactional Analysis relies on regular assemblies and the use of “circle time”, in which children are encouraged to develop interpersonal skills through class discussion.
Key points covered on transactional analysis:
* It improves behaviour in the classroom
* It helps children express themselves better
* It creates a happier working and learning environment
One of the guys who commented on that video was asking “Can a child be in the Adult ego state before they become a fully grown adult?“.
My answer to that is yes, children can also be in the Adult ego state. When they are in the “here and now” asking questions and willing to learn for instance, they are in Adult ego state.
Here is the link to the video.
