What’s SEL? Is it different from social-emotional skills?

SEL stands for social-emotional learning. According to the Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning, it’s the process by which we learn and apply social-emotional knowledge, attitudes, and skills for understanding and managing emotions, setting and achieving goals, establishing and maintaining relationships, and feeling and showing empathy for others. I am currently providing Second Step lessons to grades K through 6 this year. Students participate in hands on lessons where they learn skills in empathy, emotion management, and problem solving. Second Step is considered an SEL program because it provides a process for learning and practicing many important social-emotional skills. This SEL: What and Why video explains SEL in less than three minutes. Let me know if you have any questions about our Second Step Lessons or SEL!

Ways to Help Your Child’s Academic Success

(without getting too academic)

1. Talk to them about their day. What was something they were proud of? What was something they found difficult?

2. Stay up to date with their assignments and grades. Check Infinite Campus often, as it will show their current progress, assignments, and missing work.

3. Model and encourage a growth mindset. If they express they can’t do something or if they say, “I don’t know how,” have them add the word, “yet.” If they complain a task or subject is too hard, help them understand that learning and growth only happen through struggle. If it’s easy, it’s just practice.

4. Make sure they have as much routine as possible. In an ever changing time, our students are learning to be flexible and go with the flow. Now that we are returning to full in person, you can help them adjust once again by developing routines they can depend on - homework, bedtime, morning tasks, etc.

5. Ensure your child gets enough sleep. According to John Hopkins Medicine, “Studies have shown that kids who regularly get an adequate amount of sleep have improved attention, behavior, learning, memory, and overall mental and physical health. Not getting enough sleep can lead to high blood pressure, obesity and even depression.” The full article here

• Infants under 1 year: 12-16 hours

• Children 1-2 years old: 11-14 hours

• Children 3-5 years old: 10-13 hours

• Children 6-12 years old: 9-12 hours

• Teenagers 13-18 years old: 8-10 hours

6. Encourage reading everyday. #parentinghack If you have a reluctant reader, make their bedtime 20 minutes earlier than you want it to be. Offer them a choice by saying, “You can go to sleep now or have 20 minutes to read.” 9 times out of 10 they’ll choose to read!

7. Allow your child to be bored. According to Psychology today, boredom can improve our mental health, increase creativity, motivate a search for novelty, motivate the pursuit of new goals, and help improve self-control skills. Read the article here.
