Emotions are part of every human being. There are hundreds of emotions along with variations, mutations, and blends of those emotions. They tell us about what we are experiencing and help us to know how to react. There are no good or bad emotions, but there are good and bad ways of expressing (or acting on) emotions. In working with youth, who have the least experience dealing with their emotions, adults must pay special attention to their interactions with youth. It is like building a pyramid with cups: any small action or interaction can make things tumble downward. As extension professionals and 4-H volunteers working directly with youth, we can see these pyramids in the process of building up and tumbling down, and we also have the ability to use the skills of emotional awareness and emotional intelligence to help deter again the potential negative impacts of youth breaking down with their emotions.
