Early Life and Education

The early years of childhood are a critical time for building social and emotional skills, researchers and educators have long known. These skills are important for learning to interact with peers, teachers, and parents; coping with challenging situations such as family conflict and trauma; developing a positive self-image; and achieving academic success.

As children grow older, their peer context broadens and becomes more diverse. This makes SEL even more crucial for their development. In a recent review, Megan McClelland, Shauna Tominey, Sara Schmitt, and Robert Duncan examine the theory and science behind various SEL interventions in preschool through high school. They find that several of them are promising, but that we need to know more about how and why their effects vary for different groups of kids.
