This is the belief of Nevena Basarova-Dicheva, founder and education leader at Kids Academy, the first school in Bulgaria that teaches good manners.

You pay special attention to teaching good manners. Why?

The honest smile, the emotion that is aware of itself, the good words, the adequate nonverbal communication, the personal style and the outstanding presence: good manners, politeness and emotional intelligence can take you in places where good education and money will not!

These skills are not taught at prestigious universities, but have to be nurtured during early childhood in the family, at school and in society. 

At the foundation of good manners is respect to others' personal space and behaviours. The capability to understand how other people feel (empathy) is an important part of emotional intelligence. In early childhood, it is the basis of friendships, later it is key for forming relations within the family and the workplace.

The awareness and acceptance of the 5 basic emotions: joy, anger, fear, disgust and sadness help both children and adults to be more flexible, adaptable and resilient to the challenges of everyday life. This helps to control aggression in children and teenagers, and for better decision making and dealing with problems and anxiety in adults.

The skill to attentively listen to the person we are talking to, without hurrying to share our opinion (active listening) is also good manners.

How do you teach children good manners?

For almost 9 years now the method that I authored, Flexible Discipline, has given exceptional results. It steps on clearly formulated rules, setting limitations and focusing on children's personal motivation. We introduce all concepts to them games and role playing different situations "with" and "without" good manners. Thus, children see first handedly the benefits and advantages of proper manners. 

Do you think that emotional intelligence in children is of help when they are at school?

Emotional intelligence is the sum of skills that we learn and master through our entire lives. They are crucial when we are under stress. Just like adults, children can experience stress and even burn out before challenging events, such as an important test. The awareness of and the management of the emotions are the children's life belt.

Both as a mother and an expert I firmly believe that introducing good manners and emotional intelligence classes at school, even just once a week, will help children to be calmer and more confident, to have better marks, and be more disciplined and motivated in class. It will reduce aggression between them.

Kids Academy has worked in this direction for years. Both our students and their parents are exceptionally happy and satisfied with the results.

Първа детска академия за добри обноски подготвя успешни лидери и лоялни служители

Детето може да се превърне в успешен възрастен само, ако освен академични знания е усвоило и изкуството на добрите обноски. В това вярва Невена Басарова-Дичева, основател и водещ обучението в Първа детска академия за добри обноски.

Отделяте специално внимание на възпитанието на добри обноски. Защо?

Искрената усмивка, осъзнатата емоция, добрата дума, адекватната невербална комуникация, личният стил и осезаемото присъствие: добрите обноски, вежливите маниери и емоционалната интелигентност ще Ви отведат там, където образованието и парите не могат!

Тези умения не се учат в престижни университети, а се усвояват от ранно детство в семейството, училището и обществото.

В основата на добрите обноски е уважението към личното пространство и поведението на другите. Умението да разбираме как се чувстват другите (емпатия) е важна част от емоционалната интелигентност. В ранна детска възраст тя е в основата на приятелствата, а на по-късен етап е ключова за взаимоотношенията в семейството и на работното място.

Осъзнаването и приемането на 5-те основни емоции – радост, гняв, страх, отвращение и тъга, помагат на деца и възрастни да са по-гъвкави, адаптивни и устойчиви на предизвикателствата на всекидневието. Това помага за контролиране на агресията при децата и юношите, и за по-умело взимане на решения и справяне с проблемите и тревожността в зряла възраст.

Умението да слушаме събеседника със съпричастност, без да бързаме да даваме своята позиция (активно слушане), също е част от добрите обноски.

Как учите децата на добри обноски?

Вече близо 9 години създадената от мен методика "Гъвкава дисциплина" дава изключителни резултати. Тя стъпва на формулирани ясни правила, поставяне на граници и фокусиране върху личната мотивация на децата. Всичко това е поднесено с игрови подход и разиграване на ситуации "с" и "без" добри обноски, в които децата сами виждат ползите от тях.

Смятате ли, че емоционалната интелигентност при децата е от полза, когато те са на училище?

Емоционалната интелигентност е съвкупност от умения, които учим и развиваме цял живот. Те са изключително важни, когато сме под стрес. Подобно на възрастните, и децата преживяват стрес и дори burn out преди изпитания като важно контролно. Осъзнаването и управлението на емоциите са спасителен пояс за детето.

И като майка, и като експерт съм твърдо убедена, че въвеждането на часове по добри обноски и емоционална интелигентност дори веднъж седмично в училище ще помогне на децата да са по-спокойни и уверени, да имат по-високи оценки, да са по-дисциплинирани и концентрирани в час. Ще намали агресията между тях.

Първа детска академия за добри обноски от години работи в тази посока. И децата, и родителите са изключително щастливи и доволни от резултатите.
