Being knowledgeable about social and emotional health is crucial because it helps parents and educators support children in managing emotions, building positive relationships, and developing resilience. When supported at home, children learn essential life skills like emotional regulation, empathy, and effective communication. This creates a nurturing environment where children feel safe to express themselves, which promotes their overall well-being, academic success, and mental health. Parents can foster this by modeling healthy emotional behaviors, encouraging open communication, and creating routines that promote emotional stability and security.

The following are additional resources that parents can use to help support their student at home.
