He's learnt what many of us have been searching for, some for most of their lives without realising, imagine if this kind of content was made more available in schools, it took therapy for me to come across this and has changed my life

[through.a.barrel.she.breathes]

Please continue to help young kids, they really need someone like you. .💙 I know that waking to a lonely, crippling nightmare.

I train early learning teachers (birth to third grade) and am working hard on promoting social-emotional learning. This video is a great illustration for them on what the outcomes could be if we would prioritize building these skills as early as possible. Thank you for sharing and I'm so thrilled you were able to discover this so early in life and that you're spreading the word now!

This was eye opening and so inspiring to see. Thank you for taking the time to educate me, a therapist, on how to do this with our children better.

[juliab.]

I just don't know why they don't teach us emotional intelligence in school.

[tadolaizo]

Mahmoud Godat. Those new generations have their own expression to tell the others what is going on in their minds it`s a great expression I enjoyed. Videos like this will help many people to understand what is Emotional Intelligence (EI).

[CharmandHappyCarmenTellez]

Key words early on in first 5-1/2minutes "...learning in a SAFE environment." Sadly, when the school environment has toxic issues like at Acacia Middle School in Hemet, CA., the will to learn, be positive, try harder, stay true to yourself is compromised, especially when staff sweeps issues under the rug. The child changes to a state of fight or flight and becomes emotionally damaged. School should not have that kind of power. Then, the child is now looked at like a monster, he feels like a monster, feels misunderstood, feels he has to be "tough" and loses his sense to care for his future. It can get THAT bad if not caught to prevent or remedy in time. How many of our youth have geared paths due to similar situations even though the HOME environment is nothing less than positive & nurturing.
