Tips and Tricks for dealing with challenges

  • Challenge: Some children might feel embarrassed or shy acting out emotions, especially sadness or fear.
    Tip: The teacher should model the activity first, showing that all emotions are normal.
  • Challenge: The children exaggerate (turning fear into cartoonish horror).
    Tip: The teacher can gently guide them to explore how they really feel fear, focusing on physical sensations (heartbeat, posture).
  • Challenge: Some children cannot name a personal example.
    Tip: the teacher can offer simple prompts like, “Do you ever feel proud when you learn something new?”
