On the first day of training the coach met with psychologists and educators of pre-school education. The seminar was begun with acquaintance to audience. During the exercise “Acquaintance”, each participant taking a ball from the leader, called his name and his quality of character and then passed the ball to another person. Thus all participants could get acquainted quickly. During the training, teachers questioned the coach about education of a child at early age (3 years).

They got acquainted with new techniques and methods of work, including phototherapy and art therapy. Participants were interested with these exercises. After the training new knowledge, games and competitions will be used with success by educational psychologists in their training programs. Especially the exercise "The rock of trust", as it is simple to perform.

On the second day of work in Taraz, the coach met with school psychologists and discussed with them the theme of addictive behavior, its reasons. She talked about the prevention of deviant behavior of children and adolescents.

According to participants of this meeting, all problems begin with a family. “If we, educational psychologists, carry out effective work with families, to provide them psychological support and help, if it is necessary to conduct psychological support then our children will be psychologically healthy and happy”.

The seminar showed that each participant is not indifferent to the life of each child's bright future. It should be so, because teachers are in class! Not for nothing do they say that the true teacher might be the person who chose this difficult profession by reason of love to children and who has vocation for teaching.

In the completion of the training, all participants received certificates, thematic development of this seminar in disks, and also booklets of the Institute of Family Education.
