A significância da narrativa como estratégia potencializadora para o desenvolvimento de habilidades socioemocionais em crianças em condição de vulnerabilidade social

Abstract

This paper addresses the importance of narrative as an empowering strategy in the development of socioemotional skills in children in situations of social vulnerability. The general objective is to analyze, through a bibliographic approach, the impact of storytelling on the development of these skills during childhood, with an emphasis on the relevance of itinerant reading initiatives, such as mobile libraries, for the holistic development of children in vulnerable contexts. Specifically, the aim is to analyze the main characteristics of socioemotional development in childhood, including a historical approach to storytelling, with a particular focus on its relevance for children in situations of social vulnerability. Furthermore, the study investigates the importance of storytelling in both educational and non-educational environments, as well as examining, based on the literature, the contributions and impacts of itinerant reading projects, such as mobile libraries, in strengthening children's socioemotional skills. The research adopts a qualitative, exploratory, and descriptive approach, grounded in authors such as ANTÃO (2021), BELANCIERI (2018), CUNHA and CARO (2016), SOUZA and BERNARDINO (2011), VIGOTSKY (2018), among others. The results indicate that narratives, through storytelling, are essential tools in child development, positively influencing creativity, imagination, empathy, and the emotional, cognitive, social, and emotional aspects of children.
