Emotion Awareness

The goal is to help children recognise and understand emotions, both in themselves and others. This involves learning to identify emotional clues, such as facial expressions or body language, and understanding what might trigger these feelings. Teaching students to articulate their emotions equips them with the vocabulary to express themselves constructively. This is key to building empathy and compassion. By identifying the causes and effects of emotions, students can better manage their reactions. For example, a child might say, “I feel frustrated because I’m struggling,” rather than acting out in response to their feelings.
