What is Social Emotional Learning (SEL)?

Social emotional learning, or SEL, is a framework to help kids and young adults learn critical skills, such as managing emotions, understanding healthy relationships, improving social skills, and making responsible choices. These skills are the foundations for success in all areas of our lives.

Learning & having fun

Games are a great way to teach and practice social skills like conversations, turn taking, self-control, and more.


Games can be the perfect tool to introduce and teach social emotional learning skills to kids and young adults. These are the skills that help kids become more self-aware, develop positive relationships, show empathy towards others, manage emotions, use self-control, resolve conflicts, and make positive decisions.

Family Rituals

Family rituals are powerful organizers of family life that offer stability during times of stress and transition. ... Family rituals also give children a sense of belonging and validation. They promote a sense of identity in the child, which will later serve as a basis for adult development.

Self-Care for Families: activities

@ONTSpecialNeeds

Remember, YOUR mental health and well-being is important too:

When we as parents take care of ourselves, we can better take care of our kids. Pick and try a couple of these self-care suggestions and see how you feel.
We address learning and attention challenges at the root by strengthening the underlying weak and inefficient skills that contribute to a child's struggle in school.
