To succeed in elementary school and beyond, young children have to be more than little mathematicians, readers, and scientists – they need to grow confident in themselves and learn how to connect and collaborate with others! These social-emotional skills are the foundation for development, helping young children build positive relationships, identify and manage their emotions, and more.
Big Heart World is an initiative that enables parents and educators to help children develop these critical social-emotional skills. Big Heart World shares a variety of resources that explore what it means to have a “big heart” and how to grow one. Its website shares a variety of free tools and resources that you can use to support the social-emotional development of little ones in your care – from songs and activities to discussion guides that can be used to engage families in SEL skill-building at home.
A few of our favorite resources from Big Heart World’s website are included below.
