Social and Emotional Skills

Next, Rachel visits with Lynnette Christensen, professor in the BYU School of Education, about critical skills that children need to develop: social and emotional tools that they will use all their lives when interacting with others. Christensen also shares a grab bag of resources to help us teach these skills. Lynnette works with the BYU Positive Behavior Support Initiative and has been actively involved in the implementation and research of this program in the public schools. Also can visit http://www.education.byu.edu/youcandothis, a website for parents that offers tips on teaching positive behavior.
