In order for children to be successful in school and at home they must have the correct mindset, feel safe, comfortable, and be able to express their emotions. Social Emotional learning is one of the most important things to teach to young children, as well as self regulation. To get a frustrated and upset child to realize what it is that's wrong, getting them to express their emotions, and giving them ways to calm is a main goal for every early childhood educator. Building a classroom community is very important to me. I think lessons that teach children about their choices and the effect they can have on others and learning environments creates a positive atmosphere that allows each child to learn. Teaching kindness and empathy will positively impact each student and when they know that something will make someone else sad and they understand those emotions they are better equipped to do and be better. Calming and safe places and tools throughout the classroom will also aid those students who need a minute to breathe and relax before diving back into classroom work.
