LEARNING ABOUT TOLERANCE: THE MORE THE MERRIER

by Team 2030

BRIEF THE MORE THE MERRIER The day is rainy and all the animal friends are grumpy. The fort they built is too small for all of them. They start getting in each other’s way and bothering each other. They begin criticizing each other and pointing out flaws. At last the female animals decide to move out and build their own fort. The two groups of friends discover that they miss each other. Also, both groups find they are still picking on each other over small things. They decide that the best solution is to build a fort big enough for all of them to share so they can get along better. HIGHLIGHTS OF THE KIDS' HAPPINESS ACTION SERIES Critical Importance of Social Skills and Moral Identity Empirical evidence and dedicated research demonstrate the importance of social skills to be acquired by children including the 4- to 8-year-olds. The development of social skills provides for an essential foundation for later success in learning as well as prepares children to deal with the real-world situations in their future lives. Likewise, it is critically important to help children develop a deep commitment to moral values. Developing children's morality is about preventing children from suffering high levels of shame, envy, fear, or other destructive emotions and helping children manage these feelings. Early Childhood Development And 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda Children are the basis for all dimensions of sustainable development. Linking early childhood development and sustainable development is important because health, learning and behavior during children’s early years are foundational not only for school success, but also for their capacity to contribute meaningfully to society. While these considerations are important in shaping up the 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda itself, it is equally important that the 4- to 8-year-olds have an opportunity to know the Sustainable Development Goals and to understand what constitutes sustainable behavior as a means to maximize their future contributions to sustainable development.
