The videos and resources below provide ideas and guidance in supporting children's healthy social and emotional development.

Do a daily check in with students. You can ask things like how are you feeling today and why?  How was your sleep?    This can be as simple as circling faces with different emotions.

You can set up games where children need to take turns, or have to achieve an end results. This will teach children how to work together and control their emotions.

You can create art activities that involve SEL. These activities can include a self portrait of how they are feeling.
