In this episode, we are trying to examine the social skills that early learners need in order to operate within the world.\\xa0

Every time I enter an early years classroom, I feel the same energy.\\xa0 The room is full of young people trying to figure out the correct social cues and behaviors to properly participate in the classroom and school.\\xa0 They make mistakes, they make others cry, they cry, and the cycle repeats itself until self-awareness sets in.\\xa0 This is the magical part of being an early years teacher.\\xa0 You get to watch all of this self-awareness take place and you get to see these young people take more ownership through social skill development.\\xa0 It\\u2019s part of creating good humans.
