Some Ideas on Emotional Intelligence

Nowadays children and teenagers face a lot of challenges. They have to study hard to achieve good results at school. Besides, they have to meet their parents need. Being under constant pressure, students do not know how to deal with their emotions. They start talking back, arguing with parents and teachers, bullying other students. It is high time we started talking about their emotions during the lessons at school. We, teachers and parents, may help them to find a better choice thus improving both students' results and relationships with other peers, teachers and parents.

The teachers from José Luis Lopez Aranguren school in Madrid have tried a list of short videos that may help us in the lessons. After watching these short videos, all we need to do is to ask students the right questions at the right time.
