Description

This Teacher Resource Guide accompanies the Emotional Intelligence Junior poster, part of the Wild Teak Studio Thriving Classroom Series.

Designed for teachers working with children aged 6–10, the guide offers practical ways to introduce and explore the six emotional intelligence skills, helping children recognise and understand their feelings, respond calmly and develop greater empathy and consideration for others.

Inside the guide, you’ll find:

• Clear explanations of the six emotional intelligence skills.
• Discussion questions to encourage self-awareness, reflection and understanding of others.
• Practical suggestions for bringing emotional awareness and thoughtful communication into everyday classroom life.
• Engaging activities that help children recognise, express and manage their feelings with greater confidence.
• Cross-curricular opportunities for exploring emotions, empathy and relationships through different learning areas.
• Guidance for adapting activities and support to different emotional and learning needs.
• Ideas for observing progress, encouraging reflection and extending learning beyond the classroom.

The emphasis is on helping children understand that feelings are natural, temporary experiences rather than something that defines who they are. By learning to recognise and respond to their emotions thoughtfully, children develop greater self-awareness, resilience and empathy.

More than a poster companion, this guide helps teachers turn everyday emotional experiences into meaningful opportunities for self-understanding, kindness and personal growth.
