Online Support | Self-Management for Kids & Families
Practice skills like impulse control, executive function, stress management, self-discipline
As we all settle into new routines - learning from home, working from home (thank you essential workers!), and spending endless hours together in shared spaces - we have a sneaking suspicion you're experiencing a full range of emotions. We are, too! This is normal, healthy, and expected. So, what better time to intentionally practice - and grow - our social emotional skills?
We've put together a list of resources for you and your kids, broken down by competency and grade level. Below you will find a book to read with follow-up questions, discussion prompts for family mealtime, and a hands-on activity - all centered on self-management.
We hope that these social emotional resources find a place in your new routine and allow you and your family to have fun while checking-in with each other's emotional health. #We'reAllInThisTogether
