I am currently a pre-k teacher and I understand my position in the development of social emotional development in my pre-k students. My classroom is the foundation for their development throughout school. I make it apart of our daily routine to incorporate how we treat each other and being aware of one anothers'feelings. I make it a point to acknowlege each individual child daily. I realize it helps to build self esteem in them. If they feel good about themselves they will develop the courage to conquer any obstacle or task that is in their life. Today's children, even pre-k children, seem to be more stressed, depressed and angry than ever. It is a must that we as educators address their emotional state.
