Results: Emotional Education
Published on 04/25/2018
We have societal issues that are not being addressed by the educational system until high school or college. Most high schools have a counselor children can talk to or get information if they are having emotional or mental issues. I am wondering if these issues were addressed at a younger age, it might be more helpful for children. For example, how to really deal with anger, or spot mental health issues. How do we address these issues? Is it just the parents responsibility to raise their children and teach them social , mental and emotional skills? Thanks in advance for your participation!
