"There are only two lasting bequests we can hope to give our children. One of these is roots, the other, wings." -Hodding Carter
Below are some great resources to address the social-emotional needs of your children.
PBS Parents- This website provides information about your childs development from birth though the teen years, It address topics like, how to talk to your child about the media, personal health, and how to deal with your child's angry feelings. There are also helpful hints on how to help your child take responsibility to their actions and how to help them cope with disappointment.
Edutopia parent resources- Although Edutopia is primarily for educators, the link above will take you to a page specifically geared towards parents. It gives advice on topics such as, being a good listener, respecting differences, and getting involved in school. It also provides a list of other online resources and books that target more specific issues you may need help or advice on.Center for Social-Emotional Foundations for Early Learning- Learning begins at home before a child even starts school. This website provides tips and resources for parent of young children. Parent Further-Although this website has a ton of helpful information geared towards parents, the link here will take you to a page that specifically discusses bullying. I chose this link because bullying is something that effects many students whether they exhibit bullying behavior, are a victim of bullying, or witness interactions of the bullying variety and have questions. At the top of the page you can find tabs for other subjects that pertain to emotional-social development.
