Educating emotional peoples

Emotional maturity is the goal of emotional development

1.       Repression or inhibition

2.       Constructive activities

3.       Redirection and sublimation

4.       Catharsis

Characteristics of Emotional maturity

An emotionally mature person will poses the following characteristics:

1.       He is able to control his emotions; sudden inappropriate emotional outbursts are rarely found.

2.       Almost all emotions can be distinctly seen in him and their pattern of expression can be easily recognized.

3.       He expresses his emotions in a socially desirable way.

4.       He is guided more by his intellect than his emotions.

5.       He never tries to justify himself for his undesirable or improper conduct.

6.       He thinks for others and is keen to maintain social relationship.

7.       He exercises his emotions at the proper time, in the proper place.

8.       A person having emotional maturity shows no sudden shift from one emotion to other.

9.       Emotionally mature person has a positive self concept and does not indulge in feeling of self pity.

A happy home and school life, with understanding parents and teachers who provide for the child’s psychological and social needs of security and affection and who also accept the child and enable it to have a sense of achievement will be contributing much to the development of emotional maturity in children. There should be no suppression of emotions; they should be sublimated through constructive activities and here sports, games, dramatics and similar co curricular activities are of great value.
