Emotional Development

As teachers, it is important to note that students are not the same day in and day out. One day, Jacob may be participating heavily and the next he may be silent. This may be more than an emotional dilemma it may be he just has not eaten last night and this morning. He may be dealing with in his home life. Adolescents at this stage are also self-involved. They are beginning to come out of it but, some are not still very self-centered. Some students believe that because I think, feel, or act this way everyone else does too. Also, some adolescents believe that terrible incidents won’t happen to themselves. This is where knowing your students are vital and also having an interpersonal caring relational for your students will help.
