The issue

Numerous studies underscore the critical need to encourage the development of social and emotional competencies in children from a young age.

 

Life skills such as self-esteem, emotional regulation, and effective communication have been proven not only to enhance children's well-being but to be fundamental to their academic achievement.

 

Further down the line, they also pave the way for broader economic opportunities while fostering a culture of problem-solving, tolerance and inclusivity.
