The Emotional ABCs Program is a sequential, skill-building educational curriculum for children ages 4 -11 developed in collaboration with psychologists, therapists, and educators. The curriculum, which does not require teacher training, includes a set of 20 classroom workshops consisting of short modules for flexible teacher use. Each workshop uses interactive online activities, videos, printables, as well as in-classroom teacher modeling, teacher-student interactions, and student-student interactions. The curriculum is divided into four units, and each workshop builds on skills introduced in previous workshops. All resources needed per workshop are provided by Emotional ABCs either as online content or as downloadable printables, and each workshop includes a clear SEL Teaching Goal, a Teaching Point with suggested modeling ideas, relevant Group Discussion and Group Activities, plus Individual Self-Reflection sections. A main feature of the curriculum is the Emotional ABCs Toolbar, which shows children how to quickly figure out what they are feeling (Pause), why they are having that emotion (Rewind), and how to make a good choice (Play).
