What Does Feeling Safe Feel Like?

Children’s social-emotional development is a crucial aspect of their overall well-being. At Teach Starter, we understand the importance of creating resources that help children navigate and understand their emotions. In this printable mini-book titled “Feeling Safe,” children explore the concept of feeling safe and its connection to positive and negative emotions. By encouraging children to identify trusted adults, we empower them to build a support system and foster their social-emotional learning.

Feeling safe is essential for children’s social-emotional learning. When children feel safe, they are more likely to:

• Express their emotions
• Build relationships
• Explore and learn
