As part of the two-week Mental Wellness Programme, Inspiring Efforts, an online session NURTURE HEARTS, MINDS AND RELATIONSHIPS organized on 25th October 2024 for all students. The session was led by Ms. Navaneetha Nambiar Advancement and communi- cation Officer, and aimed to FOSTERING EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE AT HOME and ENCOURAGING SELF AWARENESS AND EMPATHY
The session underscored that, Fostering emotional intelligence at home involves creating an environment where children can recognize, understand, and manage their emotions effectively. Encouraging self-awareness starts by helping them identify and name their feelings, guiding them to reflect on their emotional responses in different situations. By modeling healthy emotional expression and providing opportunities for open conversations, parents can teach children how to regulate their emotions. Empathy can be nurtured by encouraging children to consider others' feelings, showing kindness, and practicing perspective taking. Active listening and validating emotions help children develop a deeper understanding of themselves and others, promoting stronger emotional connections and social skills
