Emotional Growth and Resilience

Sharing and exploring our feelings with others

Transitioning into Nursery can be daunting for many children, but it also offers significant opportunities for emotional growth. In this environment, children confront various challenges that help them manage their feelings and reactions.

Teachers play a vital role by fostering a safe space where children are encouraged to express their emotions openly. For example, discussing feelings during story time helps to cultivate empathy. Studies indicate that children who develop emotional intelligence early tend to have better academic performance—up to 25% higher—by the time they reach high school.
