Emotions in relationships

The adult’s ability to welcome and validate the child’s emotions, to help him or her recognize them and control them is essential for the development of emotional regulation skills which can be used to transform what children feel into a useful tool for dealing with the cognitive and relational demands that the school context places on them. The volume Emotions in relationships is offered as an awareness workshop in which the teacher has the opportunity to practice and strengthen the reflexive skills, both those of the pupils and their own, to educate girls and boys to make good use of their own emotions.

The text is divided into two parts:

• the first part is dedicated to an in-depth study of emotional education and the difficulties experienced during the pandemic;
• the second, more hands-on, contains 46 working proposals, divided by macro-objectives, Getting to know each other and ourselves, Consolidating self-esteem, Looking at oneself and being looked at, accompanied by detailed instructions for carrying out the activities in class.

The volume includes:

• emotional self-awareness exercises aimed at teachers;
• a wide range of illustrated worksheets to be given to children;
• online resources (with activities to be carried out remotely).
