As nuances e desafios no processo de adaptação escolar na Educação Infantil: sob uma ótica acolhedora

Abstract

This work seeks to understand the different nuances and challenges involved in the process of school adaptation in Early Childhood Education, always through a welcoming approach. It highlights the importance of affective relationships and pedagogical mediation during this crucial stage of a child's life. The research is based on books and authors such as Piaget, Vygotsky, Wallon, and Winnicott, who discuss child development by considering cognitive, emotional, and social aspects. The study shows that school adaptation is a complex yet fundamental phase, as it marks the child's transition form the family environment to the school setting. For this reason, it is important that pedagogical practices be grounded in attentive listening, care, and teacher sensitivity. It is observed that continuous emotional support helps the child feel part of the group and emotionally secure factors that are essential for more meaningful learning. Thus, the construction of affective bonds among family, school, and child becomes essential for a harmonious adaptation, fostering integral and healthy development.
