FEELINGS AND EMOTIONS

Nobody can help having feelings - they are part of everyone. We feel different things all day long as different things happen to us.
Sometimes we feel sad - eg. when someone we love goes away.
Sometimes we feel happy - eg. when we are having fun playing.
Sometimes we feel scared, angry, guilty, lonely or any of a huge range of human emotions.
It is important not to be ashamed of having feelings. Everyone has them - good and bad.  we can all learn to show our feelings in ways that are helpful to us and to others, not ways that are hurtful.
What counts is what we do about our feelings -
 
motions and feelings strongly influence the Development each child throughout their life and learning, that is why we must take into account the changes and the motivation that is given at home and in school for a better performance

EMOTIONS AND BEHAVIOR
In order to carry out the correct behaviour—that is to say, correct in relation to the survival of the individual and the group—humans and other higher animals developed innate drives, desires, and emotions, and the ability to remember and learn. These fundamental features of living depend on the entire brain, yet there is one part of the brain that organizes metabolism, growth, sexual differentiation, and the desires and drives necessary to achieve these aspects of life. This is the hypothalamus and a region in front of it comprising the septal and preoptic areas. That such basic aspects of life might depend on a small region of the brain was conceived in the 1920s by the Swiss physiologist Walter Rudolf Hess and later amplified by Erich von Holst. Hess implanted electrodes in the hypothalamus and in septal and preoptic nuclei of cats, stimulated them, and observed the animals' behaviour. Finally, he made minute lesions by means of these electrodes and again observed the effects on behaviour. With this technique he showed that certain kinds of behaviour were organized essentially by just a few neurons in these regions of the brain. Later, von Holst stimulated electrodes by remote control after placing the animals in various biologically meaningful conditions.
