BACKGROUND FOR THE FACILITATOR The purpose of today's activities was that the mother and her child had to spend time together in a fun way. The main aim of this session was for the mothers and children to share their emotions. They had to identify each other's emotions, express their emotions and also to interpret each other's emotions. In addition, they were once again given the opportunity to practise their parenting skills they have learnt from the previous sessions, for example: decision-making, problem-solving, asking for help, disciplining and interpersonal skills. ASSESSMENT - Did the mothers and children show that they can express their emotions? - Could the mothers react to their children's emotions? - Could the mothers explain the activities to their children? - Could the mothers engage their children in the activities? HOMEWORK Ask the mothers and children to draw up their own Marabaraba grid and to play at least two games together. CLOSURE Summarise the purpose of the activities and tell the group that the following session will be a separate session 178 Children The KGOLO-MMOGO PROJECT
