Do you value social emotional learning & how have you taught it?
Children need to know how to talk about their feelings & voice their opinions; we need to give them the tools to do so (as their caretakers, educators, parents, etc.) Books are a valuable way to put into words what we don't quite know how to say. Tune in for some great SEL dialogues, Lynn's podcast, books & for some tips for writers who want some help publishing.
