Now, more than ever, education on the social and emotional aspects
of learning is critical. As children learn to traverse a world that
is ever-flattening concurrently they are drowning with information.
Unfortunately, this same information can be misleading, tinged with
anger, and creating an ever-unrealistic standard youth may never be
able to live up to. As educators, social-emotional learning has
always been a natural element of the school day. We must now
recognize it as a critical subject area that has to be integrated
and reinforced in every aspect of our teaching. The distinguishing
quality of social and emotional skills will determine success or
failure in those who will have to enter a world ever more connected
systemically and globally
As technology develops at an ever frenetic pace, the ability to
socialize in a practical, real-world fashion is in danger of
becoming as extinct as the typewriter or paper map. Yet, unlike the
aforementioned items, practical social skills are a vital element
for our children's overall success and happiness. Therefore, they
must be enriched by all those that shape the future of our next
generation of adults. Concurrently, as our children are subjected
to an endless deluge of information from the many streams of
technology, a societal push to have them grow up to prematurely. Of
further significance, is an ever flattening global influence that
showers many mixed messages raining down upon our youth. As these
images flash before their eyes, questions of character and
developing this subset of such respective skills become ever more
important. This book will seek to tackle how to educate our
children on the cornerstones of a humanistic foundation as a
person; harboring those traits of responsibility, caring, honesty,
and service to others. It will seek to help parents, educators, and
most of all, children to recognize that in order to gain the
necessary tools to be a fulfilled and contributing member of this
world one must embrace these abilities (and not just as an
afterthought and supplement to a successful life).
It seems each year we are faced in dealing with more and more
students who are displaying ever increasing levels of anger,
anxiety, and complex behavioral issues. Why are these children so
angry? So anxious? Exhibiting so many challenging behaviors? How do
we deal with students when they are annoyed, frustrated, anxious or
destructive? What works and perhaps, just as importantly, what does
not? In this informative book we will attempt to look at the
context that seems to foster these student's behaviors.
Additionally, we will take a step back and look at how to
practically deal with the many factors that support or positively
modify these behaviors in a productive and practical fashion. Then,
and most importantly, we will look at real-world and simple tools
that can be used immediately to decrease the incidents of tantrums,
diminish worry, destructiveness, and angry behaviors within the
school setting. How to foster communication with parents for a more
positive outcome as well as what we can do as an educational system
to support these vulnerable youths. The goal of this book is to
supplement and enrich your existing tools with others you can
quickly implement when working with these students during their
most challenging states.

Anger and violence have reached seemingly epidemic proportions
within the fabric of our youth. From school violence, social media,
to growing oppositional and defiant behaviors within the home;
anger has surfaced more and more in the lifestyles of our youth.
What are the answers? Should the focus be more on parental
enrichment skills, or on social and emotional curriculum in school?
Perhaps, greater monitoring of social media among our youth? These
questions, in themselves only point to what is a systemic and
increasingly complex problem. A multifaceted approach is indeed
needed to address this issue before it becomes even more
intractable and leads to even greater anger and rage in our next
generation.
