Personal, Social and Emotional Development

Children should be supported to manage emotions, develop a positive sense of self, set themselves simple goals, have confidence in their own abilities, to persist and wait for what they want and direct attention as necessary. Through adult modelling and guidance, they will learn how to look after their bodies, including healthy eating, and manage personal needs independently. Through supported interaction with other children  they learn how to make good friendships, co-operate and resolve conflicts peaceably. These attributes will provide a secure platform from which  children can achieve at school and in later life. (Development Matters-July 2021)
