Social-Emotional Competence begins with the vocabulary of the emotions. These tiles can be used to give young children the words to describe what they are feeling and recognizing in others. Knowing and naming their own feelings gives them the foundation to make friends and play collaboratively, express their needs and wants appropriately, and develop confidence in their social skills.
