Personal, Emotional & Social Development

 

Personal, Social and Emotional Development supports children in many areas. Personal development helps children to understand themselves and celebrate what they can do.  Children develop independence skills and helps them feel good about themselves. Social Development helps children to understand their relationship with others, learning how to get with others and how to make friends along with build relationships with key adults. Children learn about right and wrong choices and find ways to solve conflicts with others. Emotional Development helps children to understand and talk about their feelings, developing ways to deal with different emotions. 

 

In Class 1 every child is given a Key Person to build a good home school relationship between families. We regularly have circle times or play games that help us make friends, learn to take turns and share and to listen to and value what other people have to say. Harold, from Life Education, also visits us during the school year to help us learn different ways to help us stay happy and healthy, helping us to make healthy choices.
