Summary:

For a child to thrive in school today and succeed in life tomorrow, there is no more important quality than social and emotional intelligence. Since children's brains are still developing during the K-12 years, educators can positively influence students' development, including strengthening essential skills such as empathy, self-management and problem-solving. Dr. Marie-Nathalie Beaudoin, one of the world's leading experts on children and brain development, shares award-winning techniques that connect with students' lives and concerns.
