Social and emotional health affects a child’s overall development and learning. Studies show that mentally healthy children tend to be happier. They are also more motivated to learn, have a more positive attitude towards school, and show better academic performance.
It is essential, therefore, to start developing SEL skills and attitudes during early childhood. The good news is that SEL skills, knowledge, and attitudes are something that children and adults can learn and master. A great way to foster social and emotional learning in young children is through children’s literature.
This is more important than ever as kids face uncertainty and fear during these trying times.
