About Social-Emotional Skills

Social-emotional skills are the foundation for a child’s future success. They include skills like self-awareness, self-regulation, empathy, and relationship skills. These skills help children to understand and manage their emotions, set and achieve goals, feel empathy for others, and establish and maintain positive relationships.

Research has shown that children who have strong social-emotional skills are more likely to succeed in school and in life. They are more likely to have better mental health, get better grades, and have healthier relationships.

There are many ways to encourage the development of social-emotional skills in children. Parents and caregivers can provide a supportive and safe environment, model positive social-emotional behaviors, and provide opportunities for children to practice social-emotional skills. Teachers can also incorporate social-emotional skills into their classrooms through activities and lessons.

It is never too late to start developing social-emotional skills. No matter a person’s age, they can always benefit from learning and practicing these skills.
