SOCIAL INTERACTION AND EMOTIONAL SKILLS

Everyone gets upset sometimes!
Sometimes we feel super happy, sometimes we feel sad.
These are very different emotions, and it is important to recognize these feelings.

Friends are important to all of us. A while ago Mimmit collected Finnish children’s thoughts regarding friendship. Based on the thoughts collected, the song “Friendship” was born. The song describes what a good friend is like. A friend doesn’t bully, takes others into account, is reliable, and makes sure to include you in their play and games.
