Elizabeth is an elementary school teacher, a mother, and an educational influencer.
We're thrilled to team up with 'The Kid Lit Mama' on these collections that have been selected by her for your children or classroom.
Friendship Collection
Stories that help us know what makes a good friend, how to find and keep friends, and how to resolve conflict.
Feelings Collection
Discover stories about topics such as identifying emotions, coping with unwanted feelings, and self-regulation.
Personal Boundaries Collection
This collection helps explore consent, self-awareness, body autonomy, and using your own voice.
As a parent and teacher, I know how critical social-emotional learning (SEL) is. CASEL breaks SEL into five domains: self-awareness, self-management, social-awareness, relationship building, and responsible decision making.
These three collections of hand-picked titles all support students in different aspects of SEL, including feelings/emotions (self-awareness and self-management), friendship (social-awareness and relationship building), and personal boundaries (responsible decision making). Of course, all of these domains are interconnected, so if you strengthen a child's development in one of them, you'll certainly impact the others as well. I believe books are one of the most powerful tools we have to support our children's development.
These are some of my very favorite titles, and I plan to read them with my own daughter as she grows up. Thank you for trusting me to help you select books for your little one!
