These days students are having too much pressure on many things in their life. At such a tender age they have to go through a lot. They might not be able to express like adults; they have emotions too. Not only the academic pressure is there which is a problem for them. There are so many things happening around them about which they want to talk and discuss but they have a common problem that they don't know whom to share and whom to not? They don't know who will help and who will mock them? Basically, it's the first duty of parents to talk to the children at the end of the day and ask of their well being but parents are either busy earning money or in their personal life and the second number comes from teachers but most of the teachers also don't give any importance to student's emotional well-being. For both health wise the student is good and is bringing good marks when everything is okay and nothing to worry about. There is a whole LMS (learning management system) to take care of students and their learning system. Still, these LMS usually fail at the time of emotional stability of the students. Students these days if feel any issues in going school then they are provided with online learning and in that too if they want more facility, they are provided with any education app & this education app provides proper information and knowledge still students can be seen worried for exams and sad because of various emotional reasons then who and how can take care of this essential portion of student's life? It is not necessary for a teacher or a parent to be a counsellor or a psychiatrist but being a human being, they can easily take care of a child's emotional wellbeing. How? Let's understand:


  • Teachers in school and parents at home ought to talk to the students on a regular basis. It is so because just like adults there is a lot of things going on in a student's and kid's life which they wish to discuss with their dear elder ones so that they can get some answers to the questions whirling their mind and when they don't get such an environment, they are left confused being unanswered. This situation of confusion keeps them sad because they don't have anybody who can guide them apart from their academic course.
  • Don't blame or accuse the students like they are criminals. If there is an issue or complaint against any student then find the truth first because sometimes the student is not notorious but just emotionally distracted and disturbed and does mischief to attract the attention of elders so that he/she can get emotional help.


  • Teachers should not stand at the head of students like villains, instead he/she should allow some time to jump and joy to relieve stress. For example, send him out to sprinkle water on face when you see them dull, create some funny story and make them laugh when you find them lost in their own thoughts and you feel something is bothering them but you can't ask. Win their trust by such jolly moves so that they can share their issues which are distracting their concentration from learning.


  • Students should not be made to feel invisible in the class. This means often it is seen that either students do something good or bad. A few students are not counted in the class just because they are introverted. This negligent behaviour snatches left over confidence also from such introverted students. Hence, teachers need to appreciate each and every student in the class for their every small and big contribution in class. This action emotionally boosts up the students and encourages them to give their best in class and academics.


  • Involvement of parents in maintaining the emotional well being of students is very necessary because most of the time students remain at the home so parents should be made a part of assignments and projects given to the students and made sure that they should participate and help the students in such assignments and projects. This makes students very happy and motivates them too.
  • Teachers should be very polite, helpful, kind and compassionate towards students. These things make a very positive expression on students and make them believe in these good feelings too due to which they become very compassionate and kind person in their personal life.
