Good evening, Last month our students focused on self-control and this month we will be introducing Social-Emotional Intelligence. As an educator, counselor, and mom, I have realized how important this skill is in our day-to-day lives. Whether our children are in the classroom, out at recess, in practice, or on a play-date, having strong social-emotional skills allows our children to use their intuition, communicate effectively, and develop meaningful relationships throughout their lives. Over the next few weeks, I strongly encourage you to have conversations with your children about this important character trait and share with them how you have fostered your own social-emotional skills and the meaningful ways they have impacted you in the process. SOCIAL-EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE is understanding feelings and using them to inform actions. Ways to Show Social-Emotional Intelligence: Finding solutions during conflicts with others; Demonstrating respect for the feelings of others; and Adapting to different social situations.
