Description
Book SynopsisOne of the five books in the Mental Health and Wellbeing Teacher Toolkit for teachers and other professionals working with children, this practical resource focuses on the topic of âEmotional Literacyâ and how to support children and young people on a journey of self-discovery where they learn to recognise, understand, share and manage a range of emotions.

Chapters span key topics including Recognising Emotions, Understanding Emotions, Self-Regulation and Empathy. This book offers:
â Easy to follow, and flexible, lesson plans that can be adapted and personalised for use in lessons or smaller groups or 1:1 work.
