Social Emotional Resources
Social emotional learning (SEL)
starts at home. Parents and families are a child’s first teachers of
SEL. As children grow, parents and families continue to support the
social emotional lives of their children in the home. SEL continues at
school. For older children, school is another environment that offers
opportunities to become aware of their emotions, show empathy for
others, and contribute to the well-being of the community.
It is important to maintain consistency for your student during these challenging times. We recommend creating a daily routine for your student. The schedule can be flexible to meet the needs of your family. The activities below may be helpful to incorporate into a daily routine.
