Sesame Street In Communities Exploring Emotions
Tuesday, November 16, 2021, 9:30 AM - 10:30 AM CDT
Category: Training

With so much happening in the world around us, children—and adults, too—have many kinds of feelings that are sometimes hard to explain. Participants will learn about the Sesame Street Initiative resources to help kids name and talk about their feelings and provide tools to process ways to manage feelings to support growth to gain social-emotional skills to handle stress, express empathy for others, and form positive relationships.
