Social and emotional wellness is important for students because it can help them succeed in school and life. It can also help students manage stress and reduce anxiety. Social well-being is effectively communicating with others, developing and maintaining healthy relationships with others, and creating a community of people who support ourselves. Emotional well-being is being able to cope with life stressors, control emotions, and know why we are feeling those emotions. We all feel things differently so it is important to identify why we are feeling the way we feel.
Couldn't have said it better! Social well-being is so important for kids who are already not in their safest space. Students need to understand and develop the need of why we feel the way we do and where it is coming from. If they are able to do this, then they are able to cope with their stress in anyway that fits them best.
ReplyDeleteGreat Blog post Julia, I feel as if social and emotional wellness needs to be talked about more. People especially students tend to sometimes put aside there emotional wellness. This can be unhealthy and cause issues down the line so its great its becoming more talked about. Overall I agree with everything you have talked about. Keep up the great blogs and spreading awareness.
