The animal friends spend a day at the lake, enjoying all the water sports and activities – swimming, fishing, wading, etc. When they return home, however, they learn that a water main has broken and water must be boiled before use. The friends realize how important water is in their lives and the lives of others. What can they do to make sure everyone has enough water? HIGHLIGHTS OF THE KIDS' HAPPINESS ACTION SERIES Critical Importance of Social Skills and Moral Identity Empirical evidence and dedicated research demonstrate the importance of social skills to be acquired by children including the 4- to 8-year-olds. The development of social skills provides for an essential foundation for later success in learning as well as prepares children to deal with the real-world situations in their future lives. Likewise, it is critically important to help children develop a deep commitment to moral values. Developing children's morality is about preventing children from suffering high levels of shame, envy, fear, or other destructive emotions and helping children manage these feelings. Early Childhood Development And 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda Children are the basis for all dimensions of sustainable development. Linking early childhood development and sustainable development is important because health, learning and behavior during children’s early years are foundational not only for school success, but also for their capacity to contribute meaningfully to society. While these considerations are important in shaping up the 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda itself, it is equally important that the 4- to 8-year-olds have an opportunity to know the Sustainable Development Goals and to understand what constitutes sustainable behavior as a means to maximize their future contributions to sustainable development.
