Emotions and Feelings Social Emotional Learning Unit (ages 3 - 8)

HELP LITTLE ONES BUILD IMPORTANT AWARENESS SKILLS.

Young children’s brains are under major development, and the world can often feel overwhelming.

Have you ever seen a child melt down because they didn’t get the purple crayon or something else that seems totally unreasonable?

We get it—and that’s why we’ve created this comprehensive social-emotional curriculum.

It’s completely normal for kids to struggle with emotional regulation. The first step in helping them is teaching them to recognize and understand their feelings—and that’s exactly what this five-week Emotions Unit is designed to do.

With engaging lessons, fun games, coloring pages, and hands-on activities, this unit helps children navigate their emotions with confidence.

Teachers and parents—this resource is a must-have for fostering emotional growth!
