Emotional Well-Being is now a big focus in Australian schools and a topic that could have a lot said on. Addressing bullying, inclusivity, how to be a good friend and how to deal with all kinds of emotions. These are all great things and they are helping children to be more aware of others and experience empathy.
I have seen a lot of schools have buddy benches, in the playground. This is not a place to be if you are playing with others. This is for a child with no-one to play with to sit on alone. Then another or other children see this person all alone and go up to them and ask if they would like to play with them. This works, I have seen it in action. Usually other students or staff see this and then reward the child or children that were including the lonely child, with an extrensic point reward system.
I had to read a book on 'aware parenting'. I agreed with some actions they took but not all. This philosophy doesn't agree on rewards or punishments. They hold the child in its emotional state, allowing them to express any negative feelings going on inside, seeing these negative feelings as acknowlegment that something isn't right for this child either in the current moment or in the past that this child doesn't know how to process. The child may even be unaware of the trigger or issue. I understand this to a point. But I have seen it in action too with no boundaries or consequences and I wonder how these children will interact with others or see things from someone else's point of view or how they will handle not having everything go their way? Will they build resilience? Will they understand that sometimes you have to do what you don't want to do in order to do what you do want to do? What about adult relationships? What issues will this cause them?
I remember one of my children was really angry, they were about 4 1/2 years old. I locked them out of the house, so they could cool down. We had clear sliding glass doors, so I was able to keep an eye on them. They started to pull the washing off the washing line, in their fit of anger. I couldn't help myself. I opened the sliding door to say, "Thank you darling, I needed to bring the washing in". This inflamed their anger even more. Next they picked up a rock and circled around the family car, at this point, I rushed out to save the car and took this child kicking, biting and screaming for a walk in the bush. Let them go and they ran back home, still angry. I put them on my knee with my arms tightly wrapped around them, sat down in the rocking chair on the porch and proceeded to explain, while rocking them in the chair, "What you are feeling right now is anger and it's okay to feel anger but it's not okay to hurt anyone or damage anyone else's property. If you want to damage your own, that's okay, I will put it in the bin when you are done"! Then I told them I loved them. At this point they had finally calmed down.
I personally agree with boundaries. To me love and boundaries go hand in hand. My children were very sensitive to boundaries, except my youngest, who would always do everything twice, just to make sure there really were boundaries.
At school, as a teacher, I also like to set bounaries with rewards and consequences but even my consequences have a choice. For example: You can do that work now or you can do it during your lunch break, it's your choice! When my class have listened respectfully and completed set work, I like to reward them by finishing the session early to play a short game of their choice (class vote, majority rules). If the class hasn't earned this but individuals have I give them a choice of freetime with mindfull colouring in, free drawing or reading.
As a teacher, I discovered 'restoritive practice'. I love this because you get to hear each person's point of view, without blame and judgement. When everyone's emotions have calmed down, you speak to everyone involved, so everyone can hear each other's side. As the teacher you ask questions like: "What were you feeling at the time"? "Why did you do that?" "How did that make you feel"? "What do you think you should have done'?" "If you had that time again, what would you do differently"? "What do you need to be able to move on from this"? It is amazing to watch them take responsibility for their actions and see how their actions affected someone else.
Like I said at the start, 'emotional well-being' is a big topic with much to be said on it. Please share your experiences or questions below.

MMOexp: If you're an avid (or extremely aggressive) Elden Ring player, you may have killed a handful of NPCs at random, and not even realizing they were in fact crucial to the quest, or that they were holding onto an crucial item. But you could be lucky: A handful of Elden Ring Runes slain NPCs aren't dead forever or perhaps forever mad at you after a resurrected. In order to clean the slate all you need to do is go at the Church of Vows and say "sorry for my mistake" for killing the NPCs. It's a little more complex than the previous. However, it's not much.
You can visit the crumbling church located in Eastern Liurnia, just west of the Ainsel River Well (or slightly south of the Raya Lucaria Crystal Tunnel). The first thing you'll see is the gigantic tortoise Miriel and is easily identified by her cute pope hat. However, you don't really need to speak to Miriel to meet her. What you really want is the Lady Rennala at the back. The offering of a consumable known as the "Celestial Dew" to the statue of the fairy lady will bring about the revival of many of NPCs in the game, and the revived NPCs will forget any animosity they may have been able to show towards you.
The problem is the fact that not every NPCs are able to be revived by this method. Since the game is so new there are many discoveries being made, and knowledge is in a state of change, and it's not clear why certain NPCs are able to be revived, while others aren't. As long as the community doesn't compile more precise information it's best to be optimistic when you're trying to revive someone. (That being said, making the offer does appear to erase the living NPCs who are angry at you even if they're not listed on the "resurrectible" list.)
In any event the Celestial Dew that required to complete the ritual can be obtained through various ways. There's a vendor who sells it in the vicinity of the Ainsel River, or Pidia at the Caria Manor in northern Liurnia. It is also possible to obtain the dew in the traditional RPG method: by looting it from corpses. There are a few of them if you begin trawling through certain corpses found in The Uhl Palace Ruins, Nokron, Night's Sacred Ground, Nokstella, and Raya Lucaria Academy. It's the smallest penalty you could get to take a demon's life isn't it? You monster.
In terms of NPCs They're more easily to locate now that the most recent Elden Ring update also added useful NPC symbols to maps. If you're in an eerie mood and are looking for possible victims, take a look at your map. (Again it's true that you're an abomination.) Some NPCs are not rehabilitable take note. Therefore, think very cautiously before you attempt to kill one of buy Elden Ring Runes them.
