Helping parents
promote emotional well-being
Children’s emotional well-being is critical to their success in
school. To help families better support their children in this
area, South Dakota Voices for Children is making available to
schools a series of publications called “Wings for Life.”
“Wings for Life” publications are age-specific, targeting grades
K-8. They were developed by Dr. Ann Michele Daniels of South
Dakota State University. Each publication contains information
about healthy emotional development and offers suggestions for
parents as their children grow.
A 41-member committee, including a number of state agency
representatives, has guided the work of this mental health
initiative.
“Wings for Life” publications currently are available, at no
cost, for distribution at parent-teacher conferences in the
fall. They may be ordered via the Voices for Children Web site
at
www.sdvoicesforchildren.org. Click on “Wings for Life.”
