Proven, brain-based techniques that build social and emotional intelligence and problem-solving skills!

For a child to thrive in school today and succeed in life tomorrow, there’s no more important quality than social and emotional intelligence.

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. Readers will find:

• A research-based approach refined through ongoing work in public schools
• Classroom exercises grouped by age, but adaptable for all grade levels
• Lively activities that keep students engaged
