Dealing with Difficult Feelings

Children deal with many of the same feelings that adults do. We can all get frustrated, embarrassed, worried, excited, nervous and jealous. Learning to deal with feelings in a positive way helps children learn and develop skills to manage them effectively.

When children learn to manage their emotions during childhood, it can lead to positive mental health outcomes throughout the rest of their life. Children who learn healthy ways to cope with and express their feelings are more likely to be supportive of others, perform better in school and their career, have stable and positive relationships, have a positive sense of self and higher level of self confidence.

At Mango Hill State School we support all students to develop their emotional intelligence. We do this through implementing social and emotional learning programs to whole classes, small groups and individual students; through implementing our student behaviour and wellbeing universals; and promoting modelling and positive behaviours and talk around managing feelings.

The Care Class focus that will be delivered this Friday is ‘National Sorry Day and Reconciliation Week’. This focus continues in the classrooms throughout next week.

Throughout this week and next, students will be participating in activities for Reconciliation Week which has been coordinated by our Cultural Diversity Team.  National Reconciliation Week is a time for all Australians to learn about our shared histories, cultures, and achievements, and to explore how each of us can contribute to achieving reconciliation in Australia.

We all have a role to play when it comes to reconciliation, and in playing our part we collectively build relationships and communities that value Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, histories, cultures, and futures.
