Is your child having trouble making friends at school or with managing their emotions? Sign them for our Social Emotional Learning (SEL) group this fall! We will be learning about labeling, expressing and calming big emotions as well as making friends and understanding their feelings. These skills are core to social emotional development and can help children have a better experience in school. Each session will include a brief social emotional skills lesson, hands-on project, related story as well as scaffolded social interaction time with a small group of peers.
