Social Emotional Learning SEL:
Social Emotional Learning is the process through which children and adults acquire the knowledge, attitudes, and skills to:
* Recognize and manage their emotions
* Set and achieve positive goals
* Demonstrate caring and concern for others
* Establish and maintain positive relationships
* Make responsible decisions
* Handle interpersonal situations effectively
Things we can do at home to promote social emotional learning SEL with our children:
Focus on STRENGTHS. When you child brings home a test, talk first about what he or she did well. Then talk about what can be improved. Praise specific strengths. Don't criticize things done wrong.
