The Story of You SEL Curriculum

Seven Pillars of Social-Emotional Growth

Every child’s story is written from the inside out — understanding themselves, connecting with others, and shaping the world around them. Our seven pillars grow with your child from age 3 into adulthood: the same pillars at every stage, one layer deeper each time. Select a pillar to explore what it is, how it grows, and how to support it at home and at school.

Six stages of growth

Every stage works on all seven pillars. What changes is the depth: from naming a feeling at 4 to examining our own defenses at 16.

Story of You’s SEL pillars are our own curriculum framework, developed for teachers and families from early childhood through adulthood.
