Emotional Intelligence
Introduce Goleman's emotional intelligence model (self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy, social skills); develop vocabulary for complex emotional states (ambivalence, ennui, schadenfreude, awe, nostalgia, cognitive dissonance); understand the evidence linking emotional intelligence to wellbeing, relationship quality, and long-term life outcomes; reflect on personal emotional growth over the secondary school years; explore the relationship between emotional literacy and mental health, and know when to seek professional support

Can your child describe a real situation where being aware of their own emotions — knowing what they were feeling and why — helped them handle a difficult moment better than if they had just reacted automatically?
