Thesis Abstract

Abstract
The Breath Away programme aired on Cross River Television has been a significant intervention in addressing children's social behavioral problems in the region. This research project aims to evaluate the impact of the programme on children's social behavior and emotional well-being. The programme incorporates various strategies such as storytelling, role-playing, and interactive sessions to engage children and impart valuable social skills. The study employs a mixed-methods approach to gather data, including surveys, interviews, and observations. A sample of children aged 6-12 years from different socio-economic backgrounds is selected to participate in the study. The research team conducts pre-programme assessments to establish baseline social behavioral indicators among the children. The findings indicate that the Breath Away programme has a positive impact on children's social behavior. Participants show improvements in empathy, communication skills, conflict resolution, and emotional regulation. The interactive nature of the programme allows children to practice these skills in a safe environment and receive feedback from trained facilitators. Qualitative data from interviews with parents and teachers also support the positive changes observed in the children. They report better cooperation, empathy, and problem-solving abilities among the participants. Teachers note a decrease in behavioral issues and conflicts in the classroom, attributing this improvement to the children's participation in the programme. Furthermore, the research reveals that children who actively engage with the programme show more significant improvements in their social skills compared to passive participants. This highlights the importance of active participation and practice in developing social behavioral competencies. Overall, the Breath Away programme on Cross River Television plays a crucial role in addressing children's social behavioral problems in the region. By providing a platform for children to learn and practice essential social skills, the programme contributes to their overall well-being and positive development. The findings of this research project underscore the importance of targeted interventions in promoting healthy social relationships and emotional intelligence among children.
