Objectives

To provide opportunities:• to reflect and deepen understanding about

emotions• to explore how the emotions of adults in the

classroom, at home and in fact everywhere, impact upon children’s emotions, behaviour, attendance and learning

• to develop strategies for managing emotions (both our own and those of children)

Slide 1.1


Principles

• The more adults can be aware of and manage their own emotional responses to inappropriate behaviour, the more likely they are to be able to maintain a calm atmosphere

• Children’s behaviour is underpinned by the stage they have reached in social and emotional development, the level of skills they have in this area, and their emotional well-being, in interaction with the social, emotional and physical environment

• There is a need to take active steps to develop children’s social, emotional and behavioural skills

• Positive relationships with children are the key to positive behaviour
