In a world that’s constantly rushing forward, we sometimes forget to pause and listen—to ourselves and to one another. As educators, we often focus on test scores, targets, and timetables, but the true essence of learning lies deeper. At the heart of every child is a unique story, emotion, and voice waiting to be heard.
Educating the heart is not about adding another subject to the timetable. It’s about gently bringing empathy, kindness, and emotional awareness into our everyday moments. When a child learns to talk about their feelings, understand others, and handle life’s ups and downs with strength, we help them grow not just as learners, but as thoughtful, kind individuals.
In our classrooms, a simple “How are you feeling today?” can open doors that no textbook ever could. As school leaders and educators, we must create safe spaces where children feel seen and valued—not just for their grades, but for who they are.
Because long after the algebra is forgotten, what stays with a child is how they felt in school. And if we can be the adults who taught them to care, to connect, and to believe in themselves, we’ve truly educated the heart.
