Social and Emotional Development — printable resources

Building strong relationships, self-regulation, and learning to understand and express feelings.

Social and Emotional Development centres on building self-regulation, emotional awareness, and supportive relationships. Our printable social-emotional resources offer a range of activities like feelings-sorting sheets, family drawing templates, and kindness checklists. These sheets help children recognise and label their own emotions, understand their role in their family and community, and practise prosocial behaviours with friends.

Use these printables during circle time or morning meetings to guide conversations about social expectations and daily routines. In Head Start classrooms, educators can use family and self-portrait templates to build a strong sense of belonging and respect. Pairing these worksheets with active discussions helps preschoolers, toddlers, and infants explore social dynamics, express empathy, and manage their feelings in constructive ways.
