Why do social, emotional, and character skills matter?
Social, emotional and character skills play a huge role in child development. The kids who miss out on this crucial element of education in the classroom and in the home, experience peer problems more often. Those problems in turn can contribute to bullying, aggression and depression as well as substance abuse and school failure.
Children who have better social, emotional and character skills have an easier time making and keeping friends. These well-adjusted children grow up to be self-assured, content and confident adults. They are better equipped with the strong character, social and emotional skills needed to successfully navigate life.
