Reflect on the moments in which you could see difficulties or, conversely, the moments in which children demonstrated that it was easy to identify and express emotions (e.g., it may be easy for children to show that they are happy, but anger might be a more difficult emotion to portray). Reassure the children that we all feel these emotions from time to time and again reinforce that we do not have to go through them alone. Talk about whom they can turn to for comfort (i.e., they can speak to a parent, friend, family member, teacher, etc.). ASSESSMENT Today we spoke in more detail about the emotions we all experience from time to time. We learnt more about identifying emotions in others. We spoke of the various situations that can make us feel that way, and we noticed how different situations may make others feel differently. We also learnt whom we could talk to about our emotions. Are the children able to identify other's emotions; are they able to respond to other's emotions, and can they regulate their own emotions? HOMEWORK Ask the members of the group to identify a skill(s) that they would like to demonstrate for the group the following week. This skill must be something you do in and around the house. The skill must be practised B
