By means of a series of educational activities over 8 months, this practicum study sought to institute a prosocial curriculum for preschool children. The curriculum was meant to teach trust, autonomy, and skills for handling aggressive feelings. Subjects were 18 four- and five-year-old children. Activities exposed children to areas such as: (1) physical differences and abilities; (2) body awareness, especially in relation to space and motion; (3) concepts of smoothness, touch, gentleness, and roughness; (4) awareness of sounds and of the emotions potentially connected to them; (5) development of a sense of trust and self-control; (6) the value of partnerships; (7) conflict resolution skills; and (8) kindness. Activities promoting these concepts were conducted for approximately one half hour each school day. Results showed that, although some children have trouble adapting to group environments, increasing their sense of autonomy and trust assists in their adaptation. Exposure to violence is a difficult force to counteract; however, activities which communicate the consequences of violent behavior can decrease this behavior. Children developed prosocial skills, gained in emotional development, and increased their abilities to cooperate and to resolve conflicts peacefully.
