Emotional control, or emotional regulation, is about how well we can manage and control our emotions, or more precisely, our emotional reactions. It’s about learning to stay calm when handling small problems, and reacting with just the right amount of emotional reaction given the situation.
So challenges with emotional regulation for students will often cause them issues with behaviour, consequently with social skills with their peers as well as adults in their environment, whether it’s their teachers, their parents. Learning to have an even-keel emotional reaction to different situations allows us to have the time to delay our reaction time, and properly reflect upon the best response, given that situation.
