Notice
What am I feeling? A picture, character or game helps a child notice a feeling without having to explain it at once.
AYLIN’S ORIGINAL PROGRAMME · FOR CHILDREN AGED 6+Meet Yonca.
Meet Yonca.
A small step can start here.
Yonca is Aylin’s original coaching programme for primary school children. Stories, play and creative activities help your child explore feelings at their own pace.
THE IDEAOne clover.
One clover.
Four ways to begin.
Yonca is the little character with the clover. Through everyday stories, Yonca asks questions and shows that a small step matters. These stories are not a script for every child. Aylin adapts conversation, play and creative work to each child’s age and needs.
Express
A feeling can become a colour, a movement or a word. The child decides how much to share.
Try
Play offers room to rehearse possibilities: What might I say? What could help me in a difficult moment?
Connect
Aylin works with parents on listening and supporting small steps in everyday life while respecting the child’s private space.
WHAT IT LOOKS LIKEListen. Play.
Listen. Play.
Try something out.
Aylin sits with the child at eye level. Yonca might open a conversation; another day, a drawing or a small scene in play might help. Feelings are taken seriously. There is no pressure to perform or answer immediately.
THE FIRST STORYYonca and the
Yonca and the
Knot in the Tummy.
Yonca draws a tree. When it is time to show the picture, a knot appears in Yonca’s tummy. Aylin listens. And Yonca discovers that showing just one corner of the drawing can be a beginning.

Room for your own ideas.
Aylin uses her own activity materials in coaching: drawing feelings as weather, finding words, choosing a small step and naming people who listen. These short, open activities are guided for each child, with no right or wrong answers.
