Learning and Impact
Both educators and mental health professionals agree that parents and adult caregivers are essential to children’s healthy social and emotional development. Our children look to us as role models. Our children look to us for guidance and reassurance. Our children look to us to make meaning of the world of social interactions. Emotions matter.
PLWSEL’s best practices include:
