Why SEL is Essential:
SEL equips children with the tools to manage their emotions, empathize with others, and navigate challenges confidently. Research shows that children with strong SEL skills perform better academically and socially.
Caregiver-Child Collaboration:
Unlike other platforms, SMILI supports both caregivers and children, fostering shared growth. Caregivers gain actionable strategies, while children learn emotional resilience through interactive play and reflection.
SEL WHEEL
Social and emotional learning (SEL) is the process through which children and adults understand and manage emotions, set and achieve positive goals, feel and show empathy for others, establish and maintain positive relationships, and make responsible decisions.
What is SEL?
Self-awareness: Know your strengths and limitations, with a well-grounded sense of confidence, optimism, and a "growth mindset."
​
Self-management: Effectively manage stress, control impulses, and motivate yourself to set and achieve goals.
​
Social awareness: Understand the perspectives of others and empathize with them, including those from diverse backgrounds and cultures.
​
Relationship skills: Communicate clearly, listen well, cooperate with others, resist inappropriate social pressure, negotiate conflict constructively, and seek and offer help when needed.
​
Responsible decision-making: Make constructive choices about personal behavior and social interactions based on ethical standards, safety and social norms.
