Interoception for Emotional Literacy in the Classroom

Today's episode is a snippet of a Private Podcast that Em and Steph record every month for TGGM Members. We explore interoception's role in emotional development, defining it as the understanding of internal body signals. We speak about the crucial link to emotional regulation and its significance in helping children recognise and manage their feelings. Em and Steph share practical strategies for teachers to integrate interoception into classrooms, advocating for activities like body scans and discussing how bodily sensations link to emotions. We emphasise the importance of extending these practices to upper primary and secondary students, creating a safe space for exploration. Em and Steph highlight how prioritising well-being from early learning through university and workplaces positively impacts decision-making and self-trust, fostering lifelong emotional intelligence.   Find Em:  www.thegradguide.com.au IG: thegradguide_ FB: The Grad Guide LinkedIn: Emma Gentle   Find Steph: https://www.sgroccupationaltherapy.com IG: sgroccupationaltherapy
