Resources in Social and Emotional Development from the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) Learning Media encourage children to develop positive peer and adult interactions and to manage self-expression and feelings. Many of our favorite characters, such as Daniel Tiger and Super Why, teach lessons on confronting our fears, working together as a team, and welcoming a new member to a family. Kindness is explored in a lesson that also challenges a student’s artistic expression by making a Kindness Tree. An interactive activity can be used to encourage and teach appropriate social behaviors. Social problem solving, self-awareness, and empathy are also explored.
