What is Emotion?

Emotion, a complex experience of consciousness, bodily sensation, and behaviour that reflects the personal significance of a thing, an event, or a state of affairs.

How to Identify the emotional Needs of a child?

What are the Emotional Needs of a Learner?

Toddlers (aged 1- 3) are just getting started learning about the world around them. It’s an extremely exciting time for physical, cognitive and language development. They understand much more than we think and they develop self-awareness during this period.

  • The need to be understood
  • Freedom to make mistakes
  • The need for an example
  • Encouragement and praise

Children

Moving on to the ‘child’ which, in this article, refers to the young person aged between 4 and 11. This is a very important time in a child’s life and marks the start of the school years.

  • The need to feel included
  • Freedom to solve problems
  • The need to be shown interest
  • Clear boundaries

What are the Emotional Needs of a Learner?

All Children & Young People

There are some emotional needs that are relevant for all ages, and often for adults too. These extra points are worth considering for all young people throughout their development.

  • The need for approval
  • The need to be heard
  • The need for forgiveness
  • Freedom of choice

Teenagers are stereotypically notorious for emotional outbursts, grunting and grumbling, being unpredictable and telling you everything is unfair. The teen years, however, can be some of the most difficult for young people because they appear independent and responsible, but their reasoning skills and life experience aren’t always there yet.

  • The need to assert independence
  • Freedom to make age appropriate decisions
  • The need for fairness and trust
  • Freedom of expression

Understanding children’s emotional needs

Our emotional needs are what make us separate from the animal world; we are complex creatures and require positive interactions from other humans to fulfil us.
