AT SCHOOL
Children and adolescents take their feelings with them everywhere. That includes school.
Making Sense of Emotions and Behaviour at School
School is a complicated place, where emotions vary from moment to moment. Learning can be fun (or boring). Lessons can build curiosity and confidence (or trigger confusion and frustration). Friendship can bring happiness (but it can also bring pain).
School is the practice ground where children learn the complicated parts of life. They mix with people, face new challenges and find out how the world works. It’s no surprise that emotions turn up during these important lessons.
Imagine that every student is trying to carry their own personalised bundle of emotions.
SOMETIMES THEY MANAGE.
SOMETIMES THEY DON’T.
But this is not just about students. To all those caring adults who have stepped forward to help children learn, YOUR EMOTIONS MATTER TOO!
