Social Emotional Learning at Home

Social Emotional Learning begins at home with family and caregivers. You are your child's first social emotional teacher and you continue to guide these skills throughout childhood and adolescences.  

"Parents and families are critical partners in helping their children develop social and emotional know-how. They can model the kinds of skills, attitudes, and behaviors we want all students to master. And they can be important advocates for SEL at school." - CASEL.org
