When I was 6, we sometimes did an activity where we would sit in a circle and the teacher would hold up enlarged black and white photos of two people and ask us what we thought was going on. I assume it was a lesson for recognizing body language and emotional expression in the face, for example the picture would have someone crossing their arms. But we did it so seldomly I don't understand how it was a lesson plan, and since we did it in a group I don't understand how she could have been screening us individually for any type of emotional recognition and naming disorders. I only remember this because it caused me tiny childhood STRESS because I had no idea what we were suppose to say, and would copy what someone else said. Any ideas about what this was, does it intersect with your work?

That's ok thanks for answering!

I thought that there might be interplay among having a hard time recognizing emotions and trying to find labels(words) to fit those emotions.
