Social and emotional learning (SEL) is the process through which children acquire and effectively apply the knowledge, attitudes, and skills necessary to understand and manage emotions, set and achieve positive goals, feel and show empathy for others, establish and maintain positive relationships, and make responsible decisions. Skills such as patience, persistence, self-awareness, empathy and growth mindset are just a few of the topics you will find in many wonderful books at the Deschutes Public Library.
Take a look at this Pinterest page of books and CDs, each one identified with the skill it features for discussion in classrooms or at home.
