Understanding and managing emotions: why it’s important
Understanding and managing emotions is important for development and wellbeing during childhood and adolescence.
Children and teenagers who can understand and manage their emotions are more likely to:
express emotions by speaking calmly or in appropriate ways
bounce back after feeling strong emotions like disappointment, frustration or excitement
control impulses
behave appropriately – that is, in ways that don’t hurt other people, things or themselves.
And this is good for children because it helps them learn, make friends, become independent and more.
