Understanding Social Emotional Learning Programs
Have you ever heard of a Social Emotional Learning (SEL) program? It's a special kind of program designed to help kids like you learn important skills for managing emotions, getting along with others, and feeling good about yourself. Imagine a school where not only are you learning Math and Reading, but you're also learning how to understand your feelings and how to be a good friend. That's what a social emotional learning program is all about! In an SEL program, you'll discover cool ways to express your feelings and understand them better. Sometimes, we all feel happy, sad, angry, or worried, right? Well, in an SEL program, you'll learn that it's totally okay to feel these emotions, and you'll learn healthy ways to deal with them. Another awesome thing about SEL programs is that they teach you how to work well with others. You'll learn about empathy, which means understanding how someone else feels. This helps you be a kind and supportive friend. You
