Cómo en el juego los niños y las niñas expresan y regulan sus pulsiones

Abstract

How through the game boys and girls express and regulate their impulses is an investigation that starts with play as a genuine and authentic language, of boys and girls as protagonists in the construction of reality, producers of discourses that transform and recreate worlds. The aim of this research was to understand how through the game children express and regulate their impulses, which developed from observation-participation, being an exploratory study of play spaces, games that children play, the toys and/or objects they use and especially the interactions that take place there. Continuous observations were made in two schools, one of a private nature and the other of a public nature with girls and boys of transitional grade and first. In this project certain categories were raised such as childhood, culture, play, peace, drives and narratives, from the observations an analysis was made that gave rise to the highly aggressive drive, domesticated aggressiveness, the game as a way of creating stories and the regulation by others. Thus it was possible to conclude that there are different ways to inhabit the game and that this one escapes from the restrictions play as a way to sublimate and channel aggressive drives, as part of the civilizing process in the genuine and authentic language of boys and girls, the play; in this way teachers are regulators of children’s behavior through surveillance, the presence, the words, the look we have towards the children and the play is a brief way to escape before the discomfort of the culture.
