Course on Understanding and Managing Emotions
What Color is your Emotion?
Help your child understand and manage their emotions, building resilience for challenging moments.
Course Overview
This course will show you how to manage your emotions so you can remain in control instead of feeling like your emotions are in control of you. You will be introduced to emotion zones, where various emotions can be placed into various categories. Then you will learn how to identify your own zone and explore behaviors attached to those feelings and self-regulation skills so you can remain in your ideal state within each emotional zone. The feelings you have aren't good or bad, but they can be tricky. They can be especially challenging at your age as you grow from a kid to a teen. Let's go on an adventure and figure out what zone you're in and what to do about it!

Meet Course Creator, Elizabeth Purpero
Hi, I'm Elizabeth Purpero! I'm a counselor and course creator who helps adolescents develop their social and emotional wellness. I’ll teach you how to build emotional awareness, and self-regulation techniques so you can care for your emotions and yourself as you navigate the stressors of this world. It can be hard knowing what to do with your feelings, especially during the middle school years but you can learn how to deal with them! I built my career as an autism and mental health therapist, school counselor, and academic advisor. I've developed knowledge and skills in social-emotional learning, mental wellness, and education. I've seen firsthand what kind of challenges kids face and the guidance they need to grow and flourish. Using my hands-on experience, along with my master's in school counseling and bachelor's in communication and creative writing I specialize in writing curriculum, digital learning activities, video scripts, blogs, and articles related to K-12 education, SEL, and mental wellness. I'm passionate about lifting learners up to increase their emotional intelligence and gain valuable life skills. I can't wait to see how you grow through this course. Let's get started!
