Students often experience stress due to insufficient support and high expectations. Educators should prioritize the development of students' emotional intelligence (EQ) and make social-emotional learning (SEL) a mandatory part of the curriculum. It is essential to create safe and empathetic environments where students can express their emotions openly. Being approachable, actively listening, and offering reassurance can make a significant difference. Additionally, teaching coping strategies and providing academic flexibility will help students effectively manage their challenges. Schools should also organize workshops from time to time for educators to enhance these skills across all grade levels.

I will try to do the following to empathize: -Initially I will try some time to develop rapo and make him/her comfortable so as to share. - Making a mindset to accept that problems exist and can be solved. -Slowly start discussing the things that make them open to talk and later directing the discussions to the core problem. - Then start addressing the problem by understanding the background and circumstances related to it. - Taking help from their close friends can also help the process to be effective. - Time availability also creates a difference in implementation

Along with being a good educator I have observed that it is also crucial to be a good listener. I have seen my M.Tech. guide treat classes as a 2-way communication rather than one way. Students automatically open up to a warm teacher, and conversely passionate educators are able to understand if students are facing any problem. Trying to connect with students as a 1:1 and letting them know you are there for them will help them warm up and discuss their issues.

Offer support with resources at your college/ university or school. Listen if they want to talk. Provide encouragement. Give them time to get caught up if they are behind academically without punitive grading. Show compassion and understanding. Just be a good human.

In this line of work as an educator, you're interventions are not limited to teaching and learning sessions but also your motivation should be in understanding the day-to-day experiences your students encounter. For a student struggling with personal issues, it is important to come in with a positive ear, first have a buy into their story, come in a friend to allow openness. Once you capture the full picture, console the student by making them understand the trends life holds and that their situation is not unbeatable and bring in your own tough times as an example and how you outgrew the situation , then provide encouragement with guidance as to how he/she can navigate

When a student is struggling with personal issues, first and foremost, we should be ready to support them by creating trust where the student can openly discuss his/ her issue without fear of judgment. To demonstrate empathy, first, we should be extremely patient in listening to the student's point of view; I have found that often, the student, by discussing their issue openly, can overcome stress and anxiety associated with the issue. After having heard the issue from the student, we can share some neutral perspectives in a friendly way such that the student is aware of other perspectives and possible solutions and can think about them. Finally, if the need arises, we can direct the students to professional help and advice.

Un étudiant en proie aux difficultés personnelles, à défaut de venir me le dire explicitement, je dois être observatrice, connaître mes élèves pour discerner lorsqu'il y a des changements de leur côté. L'approcher, déclencher l'échange puis écouter attentivement et activement, évaluer sa situation pour proposer de l'aide appropriée et proposer des actions visant à l'aider à travailler sur soi, à se recentrer sur les priorités, fournir des conseils ciblés, réalistes et réalisables.

Where a student is suffering with personal issues one of the most important actions is enabling communication. Proving opportunities to listen to their concerns, sign posting them to seek further professional help and finding ways in which you can support them during their education. Identifying any possible peers who can lend their support so that the student does not feel isolated. Offer plenty of encouragement to help build their confidence and positivity.

In my caring field the first thing to do is shut up - listening is harder to do than talking some people need to vent and talk so that they can listen. The second thing to do is reassure - comfort and listen. If you are a trusted person they’ll know within seconds of talking if you shut up - people need listeners! Not talkers - sometimes the voices inside need to come out before others words can go in. Third thing is eye contact and reassurance by shutting up - don’t get distracted - too many people get distracted by devices or other people - when communicating with someone on this level imagine you are both in a tunnel with no one else or anything else able to distract. Fourth thing is shut up.
