Social-emotional learning (SEL) is a key aspect a child's education because the development of these core life skills directly contributes to that child's success and happiness as an adult. A successful development of these competencies produces an adult that is capable of adjusting and adapting to their environment, maintaining healthy relationships, regulating themselves, and generally engaging with the world around them in ways that positively impact life outcomes.
