My startup is indirectly dealing with this - some schools are currently testing out app that helps children (and teachers for that matter) identify and manage emotions. Early signs are that children can be 'prompted' to apply empathetic reasoning with the right interfaces, and this can be more effective than average teacher-guided instruction. It's really tricky stuff to get right but there's definitely potential for improvement in this area. There has been (in Australia at least) a focus for the last few decades on teaching the definition of emotions - this is what sadness is, this is what anger is - and hoping that students get enough out of that to learn how to apply it in day to day like. Focusing on context and leaving it open enough for children to work it out for themselves seems to be more effective. Really tricky to actually pull that off in a classroom though.
