Children who acquire a strong emotional foundation in the early years have the capacity to better manage everyday social interactions later in life. Social emotional development empowers kids to grow self-aware and confident, to manage difficult emotions and impulses, and to embody empathy, which helps improve their educational attainment and promotes their mental health.

UNICEF has partnered with Think Equal (UK) and Svetot na Bibi to produce a series of cartoons and fun educational materials to support the development of social and emotional skills in pre-school aged children. The materials were developed with support from the UK Government and the British Embassy in Skopje and are now freely available to all parents, teachers and caregivers.
