Social-Emotional Development
Social development and emotional intelligence in children set the foundation for helping them become well-adjusted adults.
How do kids make friends, how can you encourage emotional development when their moods can flip-flop so easily, and how can you help your children manage their big emotions and develop resilience? While it can take some time and repetition, you’ll find the resources you need right here.
Social Emotional Learning (SEL) is defined as an alignment of education and human development. SEL is the process where children can gain and apply knowledge and skills to manage their emotions, achieve personal and collaborative goals, feel and show empathy for others, and make responsible and caring decisions.
