Students will explore how emotions influence decision-making and relationships by mapping triggers, bodily responses, and strategies, then share insights in a whole-class discussion and create a personalized action plan.

Emotional awareness empowers students to recognize and regulate feelings, make thoughtful choices, and build empathy—foundational skills for healthy relationships and self-management.
