Social and emotional development affects every aspect of a child’s life. 

Children are born with the need and desire to connect with those around them. When parents, caregivers and teachers establish and model positive relationships with children during their early years of life, children feel safe and secure, laying the foundation for healthy social and emotional development. This process affects how children experience the world, express themselves, manage their emotions, and establish positive relationships with others.

In this FREE Online Workshop, you will learn about:

• Understanding Social-Emotional Learning (SEL)
• Social and Emotional Skills
• The Importance of SEL  
• Social and Emotional Developmental Milestones for grades K-5
• Strategies to help your child develop social and emotional skills

A FREE ‘Caregiver + Kid’ Workshop

This online training is designed to help teachers, parents, and caregivers of children aged 0 – 8. You should plan to attend along with your child.

Children deal with many of the same feelings as adults. However, young children usually don’t have the vocabulary to describe or talk about their feelings.

The ability to cope is not something we’re born with. Coping involves a set of emotional and practical skills our children learn through both observation and direct teaching. Without healthy coping skills, children are likely to “act out”. Children who don’t know how to deal with their feelings are also more likely to turn to unhealthy coping strategies as they grow older. A child who learns how to cope when young will gain strength and confidence as he/she matures. 

This Online Workshop consists of 6 Lessons. Each lesson is +/-15 minutes. 

Your child will be able to:

• Identify and talk about feeling
• Communicate effectively about feelings without using negative behaviors
• Develop and practice coping skills
