The Mini SEL System™ is designed to be simple, flexible, and easy to use at home or in private educational settings. It combines short educational videos, guided activities, and caregiver-led discussion to help children develop essential social-emotional skills in a way that feels safe, engaging, and age-appropriate.

Each lesson is structured to deliver one clear emotional skill at a time, allowing children to learn at their own pace without overwhelm.

How the Mini SEL System Works

1. Short, Child-Friendly Education Videos

Each Mini SEL lesson begins with a brief educational video created specifically for young learners. These short videos:

• Introduce one emotional or social skill at a time
  
  

• Use simple, concrete language
  
  

• Are developmentally appropriate
  
  

• Are designed for short attention spans
  
  

• Model healthy emotional responses and coping strategies
  
  

• Are safe for repeated viewing and reinforcement
  
  

The videos help children:

• Recognize emotions
  
  

• Understand what those emotions mean
  
  

• Learn basic, healthy ways to respond
  
  

2. Guided Skill Practice

After each video, children practice the skill through:

• Simple reflection questions
  
  

• Short guided activities
  
  

• Parent- or educator-led discussion
  
  

• Real-life examples from daily routines
  
  

This helps children move from watching to doing, which strengthens emotional learning and retention.

3. Parent- and Caregiver-Guided Support

Mini SEL is intentionally designed to be guided by a parent, caregiver, or educator. Adults:

• Model the skills alongside the child
  
  

• Reinforce concepts during daily routines
  
  

• Encourage practice in real-world situations
  
  

• Support emotional language and communication
  
  

No clinical training is required. The system is designed for everyday families and educators to use confidently.

4. Ongoing Reinforcement Through Daily Life

Mini SEL works best when skills are reinforced through:

• Daily routines
  
  

• Transitions
  
  

• Play
  
  

• Family conversations
  
  

• Schoolwork and social interactions
  
  

Short, consistent practice helps turn emotional skills into long-term habits.
