Children develop emotional skills through every day experiences. For example:

  •  A child recognizing and saying “I feel upset because my toy broke.”
  •  Using calming strategies, such as counting down, instead of hitting when feeling angry.
  •  Showing empathy by comforting a friend who is sad.
  •  Feeling proud after completing a task or when their positive behavior is appreciated.
