Skills for Life

Helping youth develop emotional literacy—the ability to
understand and express feelings, develop self-confidence,
and make friends—is ultimately laying the foundation for
future success and happiness. Who doesn’t want happy,
healthy, and successful youth and communities? So, as we
adults go about teaching, interacting with, and playing with
school-aged youth, let’s think about and act upon ways we
can encourage and support social emotional skills to help
kids be happy and successful.
