Social and emotional development is especially important in the early years. Starting this week, the playdough learning area now contains mirrors, play dough, pictures of different kinds of children displaying different kinds of feelings, and materials to make faces.
As we continue talking about feelings, children will explore and reflect on not only their own feelings but the feelings of others in the classroom. They will also begin to learn the connection between how certain feelings look and feel differently to every individual.
The big idea is that feelings are okay and we all experience them at some point or another.
Families, you too, can continue the discussion of feelings at home by asking your child about how they feel or ask them to explain why they might be feeling a certain way.
