Managing Emotions & Feelings
Social-Emotional Learning provides a foundation for a safe and positive learning environment. Traditional learning focused solely on content and information that teachers presented to assess if students understood the concepts taught. Research has proven that this teaching method doesn’t work on its own for the issues children now face. Children are bombarded with more media outlets at an earlier age, through technology, and by constant news of disasters and tragic events. Social media has opened another outlet for ongoing cyberbullying and the need for perfection regarding self-image. These examples show that it takes more than traditional teaching to connect with children and create a safe learning atmosphere because traumatic experiences affect learning. Being able to meet a child at a social and emotional point means understanding where they are. Do they need someone to listen to them because they just experienced a loss of a loved one or friend? Do they need someone to assist their family with basic needs, such as water or electricity, so they can complete their homework for the night and not go to school hungry the next day? Do they need someone to understand that they are overloaded with anxiety due to the massive demands of Advanced Placement courses, working 30 hours on a job to help out at home, and being involved in sports, band, or other school activities? Below are resources to help meet your child's social and emotional needs. These are just suggestions. There are other resources you can find, in addition to seeking advice from your child’s school/counselor about programs they offer or other local agencies they partner with.
The websites and videos below provide additional support for meeting SEL needs, including articles and guidance on how to address your child's needs.
