Words to know

- understanding how someone else is feeling
- emotional intelligence
- the ability to understand and manage your own emotions and to recognise the emotions of others

Common mistakes
Pupils think emotional intelligence is simply about being nice or positive and is a fixed trait.
Emotional intelligence is recognising, expressing and managing emotions. It can be developed and improved with practice and feedback.
For parents, carers and teachers
- Use the 'taught not caught' approach in the tasks and make the keywords explicit by using the words regularly and unpicking when this has been demonstrated, and how this can be used in others ares of life.
