A strong #SEL curriculum teaches emotional regulation so students are able to manage their emotions, engage with classmates and their academics. That's why we developed the KidConnect Ready2Learn Curriculum. Learn more: bit.ly/2Yfp0ug

We’d like to comment. How about instead of taking things from kids- we arm them with the skills they need to succeed in school and in life. How about we get serious about teaching kids the skills to identify, understand and manage their emotions.
As a parent and legislator, I deeply understand the challenges of social media and smartphones on our kids. The impact on mental health is alarming, and we need to address it. 1/8

We talk about mental health issues yet we do little to actually address them in kids. We know how to do this. We teach kids the skills that develop emotional regulation. From there we help them to use and apply those skills in school and life .

Taking phones is not going to teach kids- it’s just going to delay their ability to manage using them. We’ve spent the last 15 years researching and working to develop programs that help kids. Let’s spend our time and resources teaching not taking. Teachemotionalregulation.com

This is important! “Younger children are not likely to be able to label the emotions that they are feeling,” buff.ly/44BQbwA

An important article to read. We need to teach our kids to identify, understand and manage their emotions. These skills form the basis for all learning. We need to start early and continue through adolescence. We can do this. We must.

Our reporter spoke to dozens of teenagers to explore the changing nature of adolescence. M was one of them. What is the main source of their mental health challenges? “Loneliness.” nytimes.com/2022/04/23/healt…

Interesting article. But how we develop the "resilience" needed for recovery is the key. Some people can "will themselves" to recover. Many others need to learn the steps to manage their trauma and anxiety. This is where we can help. statnews.com/2021/06/15/resi…

This is so important. We are all impacted by different events. It’s important to acknowledge the event and then identify, understand and manage the emotions that come from them.
Our entire nation experienced a trauma on January 6. If you are struggling with the impacts of that day, or the ongoing stress of the pandemic, please do not hesitate to reach out for help. Talk to a friend or, if necessary, consider counseling. news.northeastern.edu/2021/0…
We can’t control the events around us, but they bring with them increased stress and anxiety. What strategies can we use to control and manage our response? bit.ly/2McR0pK @Belouga_ #SEL #mentalhealthawareness #samehere
