Wow, has it really been 8 years already…? Time flies when you’re having fun!

Happy National Chess Day! ?? Chess is more than just a game—it’s a powerful tool for building emotional intelligence in kids. Through strategic thinking, patience, and problem-solving, children learn how to manage frustration, adapt to changing situations, and think ahead before making decisions. Chess encourages resilience, empathy, and self-awareness, making it an ideal way to nurture emotional growth while having fun. Let’s celebrate by playing a game that sharpens both the mind and the heart! Bring our SEL Through Chess curriculum into your children’s lives today by visiting: https://lnkd.in/g39VMy9 #NationalChessDay #EmotionalIntelligence #NewWavePrograms #ChessForKids #StrategicGrowth

These aren’t just lessons for the classroom—they’re skills that students will carry with them for a lifetime.
