Description

The kind of person we want our children to be, is not born but developed. A child’s experience in school, and later in college, in the workplace and in their family, is shaped by the development or lack of development of their social and emotional skills. Children do not develop in silos; they need a person and/or community to help them develop these fundamental skills. This workshop will provide specific examples on how anybody can help develop and increase social and emotional competences of children at home, at school and in the community.
