Emotional health is about how children and young people think and feel. It is about their ability to successfully manage their behaviour and emotions, their mental wellbeing, and how they experience stress and anxiety.
In this booklet, we include five short questionnaires to help schools understand different aspects of pupils' emotional health:
- Emotional difficulties - being able to manage behaviour and emotions.
- Behavioural difficulties - being able to manage behaviour and emotions.
- Psychological wellbeing - the presence of positive feelings and the sense of meaning and purpose.
- Stress - the degree to which an individual perceives life as unpredictable, uncontrollable and overwhelming.
- Anxiety - feelings of unease, such as worry or fear
