Social & Emotional Foundations for Learning (SEFL)

Building Emotional Well-Being and Social Competence in Children (SEFL 2)

A strong foundation of social and emotional skills is key to a child’s development in other areas. A child having the ability to self-regulate, play well with others, and resolve conflicts supports that child’s opportunity to be happy, confident, and eager to learn about the world around them. This session will focus on why a child’s social and emotional development is important. We will also discuss executive functions and look at strategies to support self-regulation.
