A Course in Emotional Literacy
The emotional well-being of students is one of the main concerns of any project
that aims at reducing the drop-out rate. To educate emotions is possible.
In fact, there
have been many projects focused on developing rational and emotional skills.Unlike
other books published in Italy on the subject, The ABCs of Emotions addresses
the student directly and invites him or her to initiate a personal growth
project with the help of teachers and parents.
Designed for elementary and junior high school students, this richly illustrated
book
will prove very helpful as an aid for the consolidation of material dealt
with in class. The text also contains an introduction that offers teachers
suggestions on how to help children minimize the impact of unpleasant feelings
and to fully appreciate the pleasant ones.
