Unit 3. 2.4 Explain how Forest School promotes self-esteem and emotional intelligence.
Self-esteem can be explained as:
‘…how we value and perceive ourselves. It's based on our opinions and beliefs about
ourselves, which can feel difficult to change. We might also think of this as self-
confidence.
Your self-esteem can affect whether you:
• Like and value yourself as a person
• Can make decisions and assert yourself.
• Recognise your strengths.
• Feel able to try new or difficult things.
• Show kindness towards yourself.
• Move past mistakes without blaming yourself unfairly.
• Take the time you need for yourself.
• Believe you matter and are good enough.
• Believe you deserve happiness.’
(Mind.org.uk August 2022)
Emotional Intelligence can be defined as:
‘… the ability to recognize the meanings of emotions and to reason and problem-solve
based on them’.
(Mayer, Caruso, & Salovey, 1999).
Forest School seeks to identify and practice these intrinsic and extrinsic skills.
