Episode notes
SEL Trumps Academics For Life Outcomes
- Social-emotional skills predict success and happiness more than academics.
- Teach these skills to everyone regardless of diagnostic labels to improve functioning.
ADHD Impacts Emotion And Cue Awareness
- ADHD worsens emotion regulation because emotions are strong impulses and attention to cues is low.
- Address skill development regardless of diagnostic cause to help emotional control.
Think First, Respond Deliberately
- Plan deliberate, organized, systematic teaching rather than reacting emotionally.
- Think about which strategy to use ahead of stressful moments: do what you think, not what you feel.
