Why should we value social-emotional learning?
Marx once said:"The essence of man is not an abstraction inherent in a single person, but in its reality it is the sum total of all social relations. ”
That's why social-emotional learning in childhood is so important. We believe that every child has precious personal traits and talentsIt is hoped that through the school-based characteristic social and emotional curriculum, children can recognize and learn to control and express their emotionsAt the same time, they can retain their individuality to the greatest extent, establish sound social communication skills, and cope with various challenges in future life with more advantageous emotional intelligence and benefit for life.
