Children’s Emotional Education: How to Manage Anger in the Face of Injustice
“If we join forces, we can achieve great things,” says 12-year-old Guillem with absolute conviction.
Sentir ràbia davant d’una injustícia és normal. Apareix quan percebem que alguna cosa no és justa o quan volem defensar una qüestió important per a nosaltres. És com una mena d’alarma que s’encén dins nostre. El problema és que sovint no ve acompanyada d’instruccions per saber què hem de fer després. Compte que la ràbia no s’apoderi dels rems!
That’s why, emotional education is so important from an early age.Learning to identify what we feel, put our emotions into words, and discover how to manage them helps us respond more consciously, without being carried away by impulsive reactions.
In this episode of the program Lletra Lligada de RNE, titled Children’s Words: There Are Many Different Types of People, we reflect on anger, injustice, empathy, and the importance of learning to live alongside people who think and feel differently.
Because managing anger doesn’t mean suppressing it or no longer feeling it, but rather learning to transform it into a positive force that helps us take action, stand up for what we believe in, and build healthier relationships.
And, as Guillem reminds us, when we join forces, we can achieve great things!
