SEL in schools used to thrive through recess, unstructured play, Music, Art, and PE. But with increased focus on testing, these crucial areas have dwindled, leading to students lacking essential social/emotional skills and increased misbehavior.

A reminder that rest is not a luxury, and that doing nothing is nothing to feel guilty about. #JoyfulLeaders
