Understanding Your Emotions (Grades 6-8)

If you’re having a hard time managing emotions, it can really hurt your relationships. Anger, fear, shame, depression and a lot of other emotions can really threaten relationships if you don’t take care of them. In this module, we examine the differences among emotions, thoughts and behaviors. We also take a look at one specific emotion that can make it hard for middle schoolers to be social: anxiety.
