2. Self-Management: The ability to regulate one’s emotions, thoughts, and behaviours effectively in different situations
3. Social Awareness: The ability to take the perspective of and empathize with others from diverse backgrounds and cultures, to understand social and ethical norms for behavior, and to recognize family, school, and community resources and supports
4. Relationship Skills: The ability to establish and maintain healthy and rewarding relationships with diverse individuals and groups
5. Responsible Decision-Making: The ability to make constructive and respectful choices about personal behavior and social interactions based on consideration of ethical standards, safety concerns, social norms, the realistic evaluation of consequences of various actions, and the well-being of self and others.
