Personal, Social and Emotional Development (PSED) supports children to learn to get on with others and make friends, understand and talk about feelings, learn about ‘right’ and ‘wrong’, develop independence and ultimately feel good about themselves.

❤ Love your child and show your affection for them. Hug, cuddle, read, and talk with them throughout the day.

🤹🏽‍♂️Encourage your child to try new things. Help them see what they are capable of. Let your child know you are pleased with their accomplishments.

⚽️Give your child opportunities to play with other children their age.

Help them explore their world and get to know the people in it. Model kind and generous behaviours when interacting with other adults and children.

🙂 Show your feelings.
Let your child see when you are happy or sad. This helps them to develop empathy for others.

⏰Establish daily routines. They will learn that events can happen in an organized way. Create routines that are predictable but flexible.

😮Acknowledge your child’s feelings. Help them talk about what they feel and how they are feeling. Comfort your child when they are upset. Hold them and speak softly and calmly.

Provide positive social-emotional opportunities for your child. They will feel good about themselves and develop confidence. Your child will form secure relationships with others and ultimately will be able to focus and learn. This strong and healthy foundation will lead to future success.
