Me, You, Us : Social-Emotional Learning in Preschool

Social-emotional learning is key to every child's ability to manage feelings and to interact successfully with others. Early childhood educators say this skill set is as essential to school readiness as the academic learning areas. This book covers 11 separate topics of social-emotional learning from developing a positive self-identity to creating and participating in a democracy and offers numerous teaching strategies and suggestions for professional development. Through a comprehensive approach that draws on extensive research and discussion from the early childhood field, this book helps the thoughtful educator chart a path for young children to develop the social-emotional skills they need to succeed in school and in life.
