Social and emotional development is important to children’s overall development, and you have a big role to play in supporting it. Social and emotional development is also a key aspect of children’s learning and school experiences. In this episode of Raising Learners, Vikki Ryall, Executive Director of Clinical Practice at Headspace, and Mary Sayers, CEO Children and Young people with Disability Australia, join Derek McCormack. They talk about what children need for healthy social and emotional development at different ages and stages, and how you can support this development as a parent.
