  • Don't Forget about the Kids...Social and Emotional Needs of Children in School

    Don't Forget about the Kids...Social and Emotional Needs of Children in School
    Sep 1 2022
    Today we have a special guest, Dr. Domonique Lemieux, LPC. She is a licensed professional counselor and a counselor educator. In this final installment in the back-to-school series, we discuss the social and emotional needs of kids. Kids are often thought to be resilient and unaffected by major events, yet we see an increase in anxiety and behavior disorders in children. We cannot forget about being intentional in meeting our children's needs. Social and emotional skills are considered non-cognitive skills, but they are essential to learning. When children are emotionally stable and behave socially appropriate, classroom environments become conducive to learning. Dr. Lemieux has created a resource specifically to address children and adults' deficits in their social and emotional well-being. If you are a teacher, parent, or concerned about children, this is a must-listen episode!!!! Connect with us on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/therapygys/Contact us at therapygys@gmail.com
