Small Lessons. Big Difference.
Free social & emotional development activities, lessons, and plans to help model, shape and reinforce social skills.
There’s no quick fix for giving kids a comprehensive social and emotional development education. We build the foundation brick by brick — day after day, 15 hours a week, all year long.
What we call Hot WINGS are social skills development activities that anyone can use to model, shape and reinforce the capabilities that equip a child to succeed. They are based on the latest science about how young brains work. Through small lessons like these, you give kids the tools they need to navigate challenging situations and everyday problems.
