Sovereign Self-Care & Independence

Personal, Social & Emotional Development (PSED)

Your child takes pride in taking care of their own physical body and belongings, practicing tasks like feeding themselves, washing their hands, and helping put away their toys.

In real life

Before dinner, your child goes to the sink, pumps soap, washes their hands independently, and dries them. They try to put on their own socks, shoes, or jacket when getting ready to go outside.
