Amra Circle

Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) as an integral part of education and human development. SEL is the process through which all young people and adults acquire and apply the knowledge, skills, and attitudes to develop healthy identities, manage emotions and achieve personal and collective goals, feel and show empathy for others, establish and maintain supportive relationships, and make responsible and caring decisions.

In this episode, we dive into what SEL is, how the pandemic has impacted SEL in children and what parents can do to cope with this "learning delay".

Developmental Milestones are simply skills or behaviours that most children can perform by a certain age. What people forget to say in this simple definition, is that it isn’t a single specific age when a child reaches this milestone, but rather an age range. 

Typically milestones are divided into domains of development. They are Physical Development, Cognitive Development, Social Development and Emotional Development, although the last two are often listed together as Social and Emotional Development. More recently, various curriculum frameworks and experts in child development have started to refer to language and communication as a separate domain of development, whereas traditionally language development was discussed as a sub-domain within Cognitive Development.
