Relationship Skills

Interpersonal skills are a critical component of the development of children. Maintaining friendships, asking for help, and working cooperatively are essential life skills.

Relationship skills help students build positive connections and friendships.Learning to perceive, assess, and manage personal emotions and being sensitive to others helps students effectively relate to friends, family, and the adults in their lives.
