How big is your problem?

Teachers should have pupils think proportionally about their emotions to help them comprehend the many proportions of difficulties they may encounter, including how to judge disputes with other children. Students actively debate the difficulties they encounter. Then, using real-life examples, participants complete a worksheet on huge versus small difficulties.

Students write down several types of difficulties on sheets of paper, ranging from missing their homework to having a family in the hospital, then sort them into categories based on their size. Teachers and students can discuss the various sizes of problems, with one being the smallest and five being something large that affects many people and takes a long time to address.
