awkward feelings?

We see behaviour and we feel an instant dislike.
We feel scared or awkward or take an immediate dislike.

we have lots of Young people who are and here l use school words
`farmed out`
this is because they are difficult in school
but in the youth environment we have little if any real problems
it is hard to explain to teachers how this happens
or for myself cannot always understand
why it is so different!
poor teaching anyone (not just a neat sentence)?
it could be down to the voluntary relationship we have
down to prayer support
down to good management
about the way they behave
or we just put prejudice away and accept them as BHP

Emotional Literacy is a much used expression these days,spiritual awareness would fit here also.but it mainly about the understanding,
reading, and managing our emotions.Those feeling within us and how they sometimes effect how we feel outwardly.
Emotional resilience is becoming an issue youth workers are concerned about as our awareness develops.



In the youth work l have tried to deliver/practice the relationship is the key
sometimes l feel strongly aware of how l am feeling when first encountering young person or a group
this has to be handled/felt through
Jesus ministry was all about encounters
relationships
social interaction
