Emotions and Decision-Making
CONCEPTUALUnderstand how emotions influence thinking and decision-making — that strong feelings can cloud judgement, that we often make different choices when calm versus when upset, and that recognising this gives us more control
Mastery Evidence
- Give an example of a time a strong emotion led them or someone else to a poor decision
- Explain the idea of 'cooling off' before making an important choice
- Describe how the same situation looks different when you're calm versus upset
Assessment Prompt
“If [child] sends an angry message to a friend during an argument and later regrets it, can they explain how their anger affected their decision and what they might do differently next time?”
