4. SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL DEVELOPMENT

5. Looking at the Emotional Level Through Experience we learn and build relationships. Without those experiences, we are not sure how to make connections with others in a positive way.

6. Building Blocks When there are cracks at the very base of this chart, all areas are affected. (Parenting a Child with Disruptive Behaviors, AB Health Services)

7. We need to directly teach many of these skills (i.e. Empathy is developmental – not something all children automatically have.) Like teaching a child how to ride a bike – you don’t get mad when they fall off because they are learning – you continue to teach them. Helping children learn how to regulate and understand their emotions requires the same patience.

8. We all use Tools Using literature – share “Wilfrid Gordon McDonald Partridge” by Mem Fox

9. Wilfrid gathered tools to share with Miss Nancy together they learned and developed an understanding of a “memory”. This was done in a playful, experiential way. Through play and exploration, Wilfrid was able to make sense of his experiences and discover the intimacy and joy of friendship. Abstract Concept of a Memory
