Possibilities of relaxation training in the correction of the emotional sphere of primary school children with impaired somatic health

The article reviews the results of an empirical study aimed at developing and testing a relaxation-training program for children of primary school age who have various somatic diseases. The relevance of the study is due to the contradiction between the objective need to develop a methodology for special psychological support for children with impaired somatic health, caused by the growth of their number and the risk of forming a learned helplessness syndrome in them, and the lack of applied research in this area. The results of the study indicate that relaxation training has a positive effect on the emotional state of younger students who have weakened somatic health, and can be used as a means of correcting emotional disorders.
