Emotional Health: Social Skills and Self-Expression

Children’s emotional well-being is closely tied to their ability to interact with the world around them. This includes developing a solid set of social skills, learning to express their emotions in a healthy, productive way, and building strong relationships with family and friends.

Activities such as role-playing or using art as a form of self-expression can be a great way to help children identify their feelings and talk about them openly. Parents can also assist by modeling emotional intelligence, showing empathy, listening actively, and demonstrating healthy ways of handling stress and conflict. These skills equip children with the emotional toolkit they need to navigate life’s inevitable ups and downs.
