Harvesting Happiness
SEL: Social-Emotional Learning for Stronger IQ and Relationships with Dr Steven Baron PsyD
Feeling purposeful is a fundamental driver of self-worth and a powerful antidote to despair at any age. To increase a sense of purpose, children and adults can leverage strength-based interventions to significantly reshape learning behaviors in a variety of situations. And, considering the pervasive mental health challenges in the United States today, social-emotional learning (SEL) emerges as a critical tool for fostering emotional intelligence, resilience, and positive relationships.
For compelling examples of how SEL impacts behaviors, Harvesting Happiness Podcast Host Lisa Cypers Kamen speaks with school psychologist, therapist, and author Dr. Steven Baron.
Dr. Baron offers a glimpse into the concept of social-emotional learning based on individual strengths. In his book, Teaching with a Strength-Based Approach: How to Motivate Students and Build Relationships, Steven provides examples of how empowering children to take control of their behavior can maximize learning, engagement, and social interactions.
