Emotion detective
Emotional intelligence is not about always feeling happy or knowing exactly what someone else is thinking. It is about noticing emotions, understanding where they might come from, and choosing how to respond.
In this challenge, you will face everyday situations where emotions are not always obvious. Look for the clues, think about different perspectives and decide what an emotionally intelligent response could look like.
In this interactive challenge, you will explore a series of everyday scenarios involving friends, family, school or your Scout group.
For each situation, identify what the people involved might be feeling and choose how you would respond. As you progress, you will practise the five elements of emotional intelligence: self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy and social skills.
Remember that there may be more than one emotion behind someone's behaviour, so look beyond their first reaction and think about what they might need before making your choice.
