The Six Life Skills Children Need

Young children are busy learners. Some things they learn are obvious to us, such as walking and talking or counting to ten. Social and emotional skills might be less obvious, but they are just as important. As an early childhood professional, you can help the families you work with learn about six of the most important social and emotional skills for young children—attachment, belonging, self-regulation, collaboration, contribution, and adaptability. This family companion to Beyond Behavior Management: The Six Life Skills Children Need includes suggestions that families can use at home to help children learn the skills. Sold in packs of 25, these booklets are a great way to partner with families to better support children.
