It is well documented that there is a direct relationship between learning social and emotional skills in childhood and positive key outcomes in adulthood in education, employment, and mental health.
Children need ongoing, purposeful instruction in social and emotional learning to build life-giving relationships that lead to a fulfilling family life. Also, employers look for skills beyond traditionally measured intelligence like effective communication, empathy, authentic leadership, and persistence. These are the differentiators for true professional success.
