Creating an environment that supports Social Emotional Learning (SEL) is crucial. Here are some tips to help you: Let your child play independently and without interruptions to maintain their focus. Ask open-ended questions at the right moments to encourage expression without disrupting their play.
-Introduce block play at 10 months. Start stacking activities by 15–17 months.
-At 2 years, explain the meanings of the ‘Big Emotions’ that the child feels.
-At 3 years, expand conversations to include the concept of empathy and understanding others’ feelings.
-At 3 years and older, begin phonics learning to support early reading.
-At 4 years, engage in role-playing with emotion blocks to help your child decode and manage feelings and situations.
