Social & Emotional Learning With Irly Bird Kids

Animated Video Books to Encourage Healthy Development 

As parents, you understand that your child’s development is essential to their success and happiness in life — and you want to do everything that you can to encourage the development of healthy skills. Their social-emotional development lays the groundwork for their ability to pay attention in class, form friendships, work in groups, and self-regulate, which are all crucial to your child leading a happy and healthy life, both personally and academically.

What Is Social-Emotional Development?

Social emotional development consists of your child’s ability to control their emotions and behavior, understand the feelings of others, and get along with their peers. Healthy social-emotional development is essential for basic skills such as forming friendships, paying attention, following directions, and demonstrating self-control. Social-emotional skills can play just as a big a part in your child’s learning and development as the academics themselves. 

When Should Social-Emotional Development Begin?

Social-emotional development begins at birth. One of the most important aspects of healthy social-emotional development is the child’s relationship with their parents. A positive, loving, and trusting parent-child relationship creates the foundation for the rest of their social emotional learning to build upon.
