 Phrase or Quote:

“Deep down”

If you talk about how someone is, or feels, deep down, you are describing what they really feel deep inside, behind the outward appearance. For example: “He appears to be unhappy with his present, but deep down he's just nervous.” I think this idiom is important because it shows how seriously we take emotions and feelings. When something is superficial or on the surface we don’t value it as much as something that is buried deep and harder to get too. We lock away our valuables and leave the things we don’t care about unsecure. This indication that true feelings are located somewhere that is difficult to get too shows the value we place on them. We lock them away, either intentionally or unintentionally, and only share them with those who we deem as special. Emotions are a powerful thing.

"Everybody Hurts" by R.E.M.https://youtu.be/ijZRCIrTgQc

I think that pain and suffering are a universal, especially for young children who might see their current situation as never ending. In “Everybody Hurts” by R.E.M. you have a song that is an anthem for holding on. It is a sad melody that doesn’t white wash experience and make life out to be full of sunshine and roses. It acknowledges the tough times and points to a future time when things can and do get better. It encourages us to look to our friends. This is a song highlighting the universality of suffering and the importance of hanging on.

”Fear" by Drakechttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DcQzATCJpBA&spfreload=1

Since the beginning of his rap career, Drake has become notorious for his highly expressive lyrical content, and as an artist in a genre built around hubris, competition, and haughty personas, Drake certainly attracts the attention of a more sensitive audience. “Fear” the hit ballad from his debut album is the perfect example of his unique style and the musical expression of our big idea, “emotion.”

   Song, Movie, Book:

Humans have many emotions good and bad that are experienced throughout life. Anger, happiness, sadness, love and fear are just five examples. Anger and fear are two tough emotions to ignore that I researched. Anger in children can be harming and affect ones ability to socialize correctly. Fear when researched kept children hidden from the outside world. Love and happiness goes hand in hand in my opinion because the researched I did showed a high percentage of children that get love at home are happy. Happiness is the loving of oneself and feeling a great emotion. In contrary, sadness is an opposite emotion based on some of the research completed. Kids tend not to focus if they have negative lives.

   Song, Movie, Book:Emotions can be understood in many different ways whether it is reading a book, watching a movie, playing games or watching a series. This book Ten Ways You Can Help Your Child Develop emotional intelligence can really help children understand how to deal with their emotional problems. One part that caught my attention was how dogs have personalities that are never judgmental. One of my personal favorite resources that I found was Toy Story which when researching it I found that it was quality communities, relationships, identity which is crucial emotion kids deal with. Another great recourse for dealing with emotions is a game I now as “Roll an Emotion” with different emotions on each on each face. As a group, rolling the dice allowed me to act out emotions that sometimes were hard to express. A series that has been out for many years is Barney. In researching about the known purple dinosaur, an episode that caught my attention was Barney and Friends Games on Happy, Mad, Silly and Sad, teaching kids all emotions are okay and normal. Knowing how to deal with emotions is the tricky part but it can be done. Nothing beats a great book, however. One of my favorite researched children books is “Sophie Gets Angry Really Really Angry”. Home problems unfortunately do not stay home. This book is a great example. A good question would be what is this child experiencing and why? This is a book that also lets kids know that other are dealing with the same problems and issues.

Visual LanguageIn today’s popular visual culture, children are bombarded with images that contain emotionally charged messages. Everything is asking children to act and feel in specific ways: buy, consume, eat, use, think, etc… By explaining how images can have these emotional messages and describing ways to evaluate and interpret these messages, students can make better decisions based on how they truly feel rather than on how the images around them have made them feel. The example I use is of a popular Manga character Goku. By changing the color of his hair and uniform, the emotions he displays and evokes from the reader, also change. This is an obvious example of imagery mirroring and causing emotional response. Once students understand the obvious, they will begin to be able to decipher the more subtle. For one of my activities, I will have the students color Goku, and his background, in different colors in order to show how by simply changing the color, you can change the emotional content of an image.

10 WAYS THAT DOGS CANHELP CHILDREN DEVELOP EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE

By teaching children to care for something besides themselves- One of the cornerstones of EQ is empathy. 

By being a non-judgmental pal- If your child got in trouble at school, is struggling to read, or has difficulty with homework—pets don’t care about any of that. They love your child regardless.

By teaching children to read nonverbal cues- So much of human communication is nonverbal—facial expressions, body language, gestures. 

By teaching responsibility- I’ve heard people say, “I’m not getting a pet because I’m the one who will end up taking care of it.” 

By letting boys practice nurturing- All children need to learn this skill, but this is especially important for boys, who—for all our efforts and awareness—are still not taught to show tender feelings.

By providing a natural stress buster- At the National Childhood Grief Institute, we conducted a study with the Delta Society using certified Golden Retrievers in children’s support groups.

By boosting confidence- Learning to read can be stressful for a young child. And while reading out loud is critical for literacy, it can be torture for child who’s intimidated or embarrassed. The answer? Read to your pet.

By providing stability-People and situations can be unpredictable, but pets are stable, loyal, and true.

By helping children express their emotions- That’s where a loving animal is invaluable. Besides reducing a child’s stress, an animal provides safety and comfort. Dogs just listen and are there for you.

By making children laugh- Whether it’s chasing laser points or their own tails, jumping into cardboard boxes or rolling in snow, there’s no greater source of free entertainment than a pet doing its goofy thing—and there’s nothing healthier or more joyous than a child bursting into an unselfconscious peal of laughter.
