Helping young children through the process of social emotional learning and setting them on the path to social emotional competence is an important role of educators. The conversations you have with young children about these topics, and the example you set, are critical elements in their healthy development. The goal of this course is to help teachers and others who work with young children understand the importance of social emotional learning and learn techniques they can use to help children achieve social emotional competence.
