For Parents

Simple, supportive SEL language you can use at home

What is BeTheBuffalo?

BeTheBuffalo is a bilingual K-5 social-emotional learning (SEL) platform that helps children build resilience, empathy, and friendship skills through engaging stories and guided practice.

How it helps your child

  • Empathy: Understand others' perspectives
  • Friendships: Build healthy relationships
  • Resilience: Bounce back from setbacks
  • Decision-making: Think through choices

Supporting SEL at home

  • Talk about feelings: Help your child name emotions
  • Model coping: Show how you handle hard moments
  • Practice problem-solving: Repair after conflict together
  • Celebrate growth: Notice effort, kindness, and courage
  • Use shared language: Try: “Let’s be the buffalo.”
