Our Approach: Evidence-Based SEL Coaching
Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) refers to how children learn to understand themselves, relate to others, and handle life’s ups and downs. SEL encompasses skills that are critical to healthy childhood development and resilience, including recognizing and managing emotions, setting and achieving goals, communicating and connecting with others, showing empathy, and making thoughtful, responsible decisions.
We use proven techniques to help children develop five core skill areas: self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision-making. These focus areas have the power to mitigate and replace a range of childhood behavioral issues, from help with toddler tantrums and meltdowns to social skills coaching for children that foster making friends, managing big feelings, and building confidence.
SEL Coaching is for Every Child
Kids practice piano, sports, and reading. It’s time they practice social and emotional skills, too.
While we address challenges that may be familiar to those with Autism, ADHD, Anxiety, and other neuro-developmental differences, we focus on building the skills that are most meaningful to each individual child—regardless of their starting point.
