Parent Guide: Teaching Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) at Home

Why Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) Matters

Social-emotional learning isn’t just for the classroom—it’s an essential part of raising resilient, self-aware, and emotionally intelligent children. When kids learn to recognize and manage their emotions, navigate friendships, and develop coping skills, they feel more confident and secure in the world around them. SEL helps kids:

- Express emotions in a healthy way

- Build stronger relationships

- Develop problem-solving skills

- Gain confidence in handling challenges
