Create an Emotion-Rich Classroom Helping Young Children Build Their Social Emotional Skills by Lindsay N. Giroux, M.Ed., with foreword by Mary Louise Hemmeter, Ph.D.
An emotion-rich classroom intentionally surrounds children with social emotional learning experiences and supportive interactions. It’s about teaching emotional literacy and vocabulary with explicit lessons, but it’s also about responding when a child is upset, modeling how to cope with frustration, discussing emotions in storybooks, and asking children to share examples of emotions from their own lives. This book provides frameworks for planning and implementing strategies to support emotional development in children.
