Iowa Alliance for Healthy Kids
The Iowa Alliance for Healthy Kids can help us with our social-emotional skills, like managing emotions and making good choices. It’s all thanks to their friends from Sesame Street in Communities!
Sesame Street in Communities has free videos, activity sheets, crafts and more online at the Sesame Street in Communities website. You can view, download and print the tools anytime. That way, you can learn from your home or on the go.

Traumatic Experiences
Grown-ups hold the power to help lessen the effects of traumatic experiences.
Resilience
Giving children tools to overcome both little and big challenges will help them to learn and grow.
Offering Comfort
Little ones need lots of help from caring adults to grow and thrive. Comforting, nurturing touch is actually necessary for healthy brain development!
Handling Tantrums
Big emotions can be hard for little kids to handle. Tantrums are tough for kids and parents, but there are ways to help everyone cope with those difficult moments.
Exploring Emotions
When you help children to understand and express their emotions, you help them grow and thrive.
