Imitate and identify the emotions given on each picture.
Which of the following
emotions do you usually
feel? Why?
SAFETY
Emotional and physical safety are
essential for recovery to take place; this
builds trust and creates an environment
where self-reflection and self-
expression become possible.
SELF-AWARENESS
In school, at various age groups, there is a growing
self-awareness of one’s body, separateness from others,
and ability to express needs and preferences. Through
specific activities, this growing knowledge of oneself
serves as a building block for gaining more complex
developmental skills such as problem solving and self-
regulation, which can then lead to health, stability,
resilience and confidence.
SELF-EXPRESSION
The process of identifying feelings and
sharing this both verbally and non-verbally,in
the presence of a caring adult who is attentive
to both the learner and the creative process, is
fundamentally what psychosocial support work
in the classroom is about.
SELF-REGULATION
This is the ability to manage one’s emotions.
Since the mind and body are interconnected, this
skill is key to achieving a sense of equilibrium
mentally, physically,and emotionally. Since the mind
and body are intricately connected, one’s ability to
manage strong emotions is key to healthy daily
functioning.
PROBLEM SOLVING
This critical life skill can be learned through any
process that involves art making. It can begin with
resolving the simple dilemma between choosing
blue or green to color, or deciding what colors to
mix to make a new color, or deciding on one’s own
specific rhythm or beat in a song or a dance
sequence.
SELF-CONFIDENCE
A strong sense of self-esteem and self-confidence
is essential to experiencing success in school, and in
finding one’s way through adversity, and art-based
activities can help encourage children to reflect on,
identify, and express their strengths and values.
SELF-COMPASSION
When children receive empathy in times of distress,
they learn how to demonstrate this towards themselves and
others as well. Caring adults who model compassion and
empathy indirectly teach children how to show this to
others in times of difficulty. These activities that involve
the facilitation of a trustworthy adult as well as
interactions with others promote the development of
empathy and appreciation for differences and unique
abilities, talents and ways of coping.
ACTIVITY:
Speak in front of the class about
yourselves to show self expression,
self-confidence and self-awareness.
As a child, how will you grow as a
healthy individual? What
characteristics should you possess?
Remember:
There are seven SEL-related core competencies -
the 7 S' of Psychosocial
Support - that function as building blocks in allowing
recovery and learning to occur in
children as teachers engage them in the different
psychosocial support activities. This ultimately aims to
give learners access to sources of resilience to better
navigate the impacts of disasters and/or emergencies.
