Abstract
In the context of social changes, the family context is changing as well, which implies changes and/or different problems in children behaviour such as aggressive behaviour, to which, as socially unacceptable, it is necessary to access timely and to respond to it by appropriate upbringing methods and procedures already in the institutions of preschool education. During the thirty-year long monitoring of the frequency of aggressive behaviour, an intervention program of support for educators, parents and preschool children has been established within the art workshop which is a part of the college course Methods of Teaching Art intended at the College of Professional Studies for Educators in Kikinda, Republic of Serbia. The program is conducted in kindergarten and is based on the principle of interdisciplinarity and scientific insights about therapeutic effects of artistic expression, and requires good theoretical and pragmatic knowledge and also empirical findings of an interdisciplinary team on a bio-psycho-social development of children, as well as co-therapeutic participation of the parents themselves. The goal of the program is to provide professional assistance to children in suppression of aggressive behaviour, and to provide support for educators in order to help them develop their own competences necessary to work with aggressive children. In addition, the goal is to help parents accept their own child with behavioral problems and work with them at home on personal growth, development and success, while at the same time preventing severe forms of behavioural disorders that can adversely affect education, social competences and social inclusion of a child
