The Ever-Growing Need of Social Emotional Learning in School-Aged Children

Abstract

[...]a shift in the perception of this new generation of children needs to take place, where their schemas should not be seen as maladaptive, but rather a reflection of the current ways of knowing. [...]a proactive perspective needs to be considered as schemas are highly adaptable and susceptible to the environment. [...]the social setting in which the child grows and develops is critical to how they perceive and interact with the world. [...]it is important that children are exposed to a variety of new experiences that will continue to strengthen previous skills while overcoming challenges to learn new skills.
