Social Emotional Competencies Development

Social Emotional Development @ Fuchun Primary School

Primary 4 My Mind, Body and Me

Our Primary 4 students are given an individualised report  (My Mind, Body and Me) in Term 2 to provide parents with personalised feedback and tips to improve on your child’s Social Emotional Development and general health habits. We hope that this will promote stronger parental engagement and spur more in-depth conversations with your child during the June holidays.

Below are some conversation starters based on each Social Emotional competency which you can use to further engage your child on their Social Emotional development through casual, light-hearted conversations at home.
