Abstract
Many youngsters may not have a clear understanding about their emotional needs. They may express their emotions through self-destruction behaviors. When dealing with difficulties and problems of students and youngsters, it is most important for educators to understand their emotions, hence solve their problems. But educators must understand and handle their own emotions beforehand. This essay serves as an introduction to understanding emotions, including what emotions are, how emotions are being aroused, the importance of emotions and emotional self-awareness and a framework to enhance it. The aim of this essay is to improve teachers’ understanding in emotions and ability in handling them.
