Social and Emotional Learning, or SEL, is the teaching and development of the skills needed to manage big feelings, form relationships, gain self awareness, solve problems, make responsible choices, and set goals. SEL also focuses on open communication, social awareness, and empathy.

Storyboard Text
On no! This is awful!
What should I do, mom?
Oh honey, you have to talk to her. She's your best friend.
Thank goodness! I was so upset!
I would never, ever do that! I am so sorry you thought it was me!
One time I heard that one of my best friends started a rumor about me. I was so upset and didn't know what to do.
I talked to my mom about it. She suggested that I confront my friend, but I was so afraid to do that. My mom reminded me that communication is so important in any relationship, and that it was to only way to get to the bottom of things.
I confronted my friend about the rumor. She was upset and denied it completely. She was crying and had no idea who started it. I am so glad I talked to my friend about my feelings instead of being upset about it. It turned out that someone else started the rumor!
