In every classroom you’ll find a wide range of emotions as children grow and progress, which is why supporting children’s mental health is such a vital part of school life. Creating an emotion friendly classroom helps children feel safe, understood and ready to learn, wherever they are in the world.

Research shows that recognising children’s feelings, rather than brushing them aside, supports their growth across many areas – from confidence and managing emotions to developing relationships and social skills. This helps children feel safe, secure and included, which is particularly important in international schools where they may be experiencing change or new challenges.

Supporting emotional wellbeing doesn’t have to be complicated and small changes can have a big impact. Whether you’re considering setting up a dedicated wellbeing area or simply encouraging children to speak about their feelings more, ESPO International products can help to bring your mental health policy to life.
