Making connections
Being able to tell other people how they feel is fundamental to students’ wellbeing. Students need to be able to understand and recognise their feelings in order to build emotional awareness and empathy. Linking feelings and emotions to their own experiences helps students understand themselves better and builds emotional literacy. Students can then discuss how emotions might influence their behaviour.
