In my work as a school social worker, it is my responsibility to counsel students who may be experiencing difficulties at school with peer relationships, teacher relationships, and learning in the classroom. I've learned that my students respond best to learning social-emotional skills by teaching with "kid-friendly" language and stories with which they can identify. These materials will provide me with resources for counseling my students with stories and characters that they can relate to, which will allow them to reflect on and grow their own critical thinking and problem-solving skills. These books, materials, and activities will be utilized with individuals and small groups of students to develop and strengthen their social-emotional skills. Providing students with engaging activities and materials to develop their social-emotional skills is crucial to helping them reach their potential both inside and outside of the classroom.
