Emotional Literacy

I run groups in High School looking at Emotional Literacy, endeavouring to help students understand their feelings - particularly feelings of anger and frustration which cause them to lose control of themselves which is an Emotional Hijack.   The idea is to look at the different stages of anger and the physical reactions within our bodies when we start to get angry, and encourage them to understand how adrenaline can drown their ability to think clearly.  I could go into more detail but I don't want to put you to sleep. 
This morning was rather trying - the pupils were so obviously not interested - they just did not want to be there and were trying to see if they could make me throw them out of the classroom - but it didn't work!!  Which just goes to show that at least one of us is learning something about controlling our anger.
