Creating a Safe Emotional Climate
It is essential to foster an environment where students feel safe to express their emotions without fear of judgment. This approach emphasizes the reality that individuals do not always experience happiness or focus, which is often expected in a school setting. By recognizing that all feelings are valid, educators can help students understand and embrace their emotions, paving the way for better emotional regulation. This shift promotes open conversations about feelings, leading to improved mental health and well-being among students.
