4TH ASSIGNEMNT OF COURSE

1. Feelings I want to strengthen in te self-
sufficiency learners during their morning
rituals
Reminding my design challenge
I want The self sufficiency-learners to behave well duding their morning ritual Because
It will make their morning and the morning of the people who share morning with them, easier
Education
Happiness
Calmness
Fun
To accomplish with the time frame
To avoid learners tantrums their
To keep feelings under control
To make him love his mornings
Research: This are some concepts about children
and about wake up moments that are interesting:
- Sleep Inertia: Transitional period of grogginess that lasts
5-20 min. To avoid it helps:Have a lot of light in
- Our Target love playing
- Children enjoy Colors, Smells, Tastes and Textures
- Smily faces help them to feel rewarded and to express
their feelings
Experiment: I
have been waken them
up with music from Bela
Bartok and Beethoven,
and he has been
behaving better
Education: Dog Whisperer. Sometimes I see his program and I see my
children reflected in the behavior of the dogs (I don;t mean my children to be
animals), so I have been watching a program to train puppies and got some
ideas:
- Not give prize to bad behaviors
- Follow a routine
- Corporal language is very important to show limits
- Don’t take it personally when he misbehaves
- When misbehaving, re-conduct them giving them a substitutive way of shooing
their feelings
- With any new step, wit until is calm
Calmness: Buddhism: Mindfulness helps to pay attention, calm down, make better decisions,
and emotional regulation
- Make sound a bell and pay attention to the sound until it ends
- Mindful wake up ritual: Wake up little by little all the senses
- Establish a gratitude practice: Teach to appreciate the good things
- Personal weather report: How are his feelings in this moment
Happiness/Fun: Happy baby animal: I have been looking what baby animals like doing:
- Rats are very familiar and play “Tug of War”
- Castors like thrill-seeking games and be tickled
-Dolphins: Like jumping out of the water
- Elephants make foolishness to catch others attention
DELFT Design approach: Parts of the DELFT design method might be useful to gel the
children to understand or re-conduct his morning
- Help them to understand the context of the morning ritual
- Crating ideas of how mornings could be better
- Analogies: To help him to understand and find a solution
- SCAMP: To help think how to substitute what he doesn’t like, or adapt adult things for him or Modify
behaviors, etc.
BRAINSTORM OF IDEAS TO WORK
WITH ANALOGIES AND SCAMP

2. After analogies and SCAMP I came out with the functionalities I want for my design:
- Help to skip the Sleep Inertia in a natural way with:
a mindful wake up ritual
nice lights
nice sounds
- Do everything playing: Using colors, smells, and textures
- Adapt to the child's mood of the day: Personal weather report: with happy faces
- Help the children to evaluate and understand his own emotions: Substitutes
- Permits the others to express their feelings too Personal weather report: with happy faces
- Teach him to express gratitude for the nice things (smiles)
- Express to him gratitude for the good things he gives to the others
- Set up time periods for the steps in the morning ritual
