Why do you need this?

Encouraging children to reflect on effective coping strategies empowers them to regulate their emotions constructively. By identifying supportive actions from others, children learn to seek help and utilize resources to manage their feelings effectively.

The worksheet fosters social awareness and interpersonal skills by prompting children to consider how others' behaviours impact their emotional well-being. Recognising supportive actions versus unhelpful behaviours enhances empathy and communication skills in social interactions.
