How will this learning affect the child today and everyday?
They will learn appropriate ways to express themselves and to read the emotions of others.

What problems might they solve using this new knowledge?
Interpersonal skills – children may solve disputes in a variety of settings if they are able to understand and empathise with how someone else is feeling.

What can they create based on this learning?
Dramas, dance, visual arts, music, peace and harmony.
