At school, children learn their mother tongue, a secondary language, mathematics, scientific concepts, geography and history, among other things. Yet there's nothing to teach them how to name and grasp what's going on inside them, namely emotions. What if there was a course that specifically addressed this? This Brut report shows an experiment in a Belgian elementary school.
The teacher has taught the youngsters the definition of different feelings, needs and values. She teaches them the difference between the three, enabling them to express the emotions they feel.
This may concern everyday issues at school, or conflicts with peers. The approach gives the two little ones involved an opportunity to see each other's perceptions and find common ground. This method also enables the children to bear witness to the discomfort and violence they experience at home.
