Teaching social emotional learning in schools ensures the overall emotional building of a student's emotional character. Introduction of emotional awareness early on makes it more internalised in a child. Many schools start this process from kindergarten and they focus on majorly five skills- self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills and responsible decision-making. Now these skills are taught in schools to different age groups through methods that are appropriate according to their age. For example in kindergarten students learn to describe themselves and their characteristics. They learn to label their feelings and learn how to accept staying away from home. By the time they reach fifth standard, they learn about how to communicate and vent their negative feelings, using calming strategies and avoiding bullying and stereotypes. High school students tend to be the most difficult group to deal with in these situations.
