Abstract:
This article examines the problem of overcoming fear of water in early school-aged children. It analyzes the biological, psychological, social, and age-related aspects of water fear that create barriers to a child’s development. Various pedagogical approaches aimed at reducing anxiety, building confidence, and adapting children to the aquatic environment are explored. Classic methods, such as step-by-step instruction and adaptive training, are described, along with innovative approaches, including the use of virtual reality technologies, game-based elements, and positive reinforcement pedagogy. Examples of the successful application of these methods are provided to confirm their effectiveness.
