Skill #9: PERSPECTIVE [Digital]

Help children see the world through someone else’s eyes with the “Perspective” module from Heart & Mind Matters’ SEL for the Wholesome Child curriculum. Through interactive lessons and engaging examples, kids learn that everyone has their own thoughts, opinions, and points of view - and that all perspectives are valid.

By practicing perspective-taking, children begin to understand that two people can experience the same situation differently. Using activities, reflection prompts, and role-play, students learn to respect others’ views, even when they disagree, and discover how different perspectives add “color” and richness to our world.

This module also introduces the idea of becoming a “perspective detective,” teaching children to pick up on social cues such as facial expressions, body language, and tone of voice. These tools help kids better understand how others are feeling, leading to stronger friendships, improved empathy, and more cooperative interactions.

Perfect for educators, therapists, and parents, this unit equips children with essential skills to build meaningful relationships, navigate differences, and become kinder, more thoughtful friends.
