What is Missing? A Conversation on Social and Emotional Learning

Description

What happens when we teach our children every academic subject but never teach them how to identify what they're feeling, regulate their emotions, set healthy boundaries, or navigate relationships? In this Unite to Heal panel, Darcheinu's Mrs. Shira Berkowitz, Rabbi Avi Landa, and Rabbi Yisrael Grossberg sit down for an honest conversation about what social emotional learning actually looks like in the classroom, why Torah and halacha alone aren't filling the gap, and what parents can do at home to reinforce these skills. They cover: - Why "comfortable vs. uncomfortable" matters more than "good vs. bad" when it comes to feelings - How technology is reshaping our children's emotional development (and it's not just about pornography) - The kedusha curriculum and why private topics don't have to be secret topics - I-statements: the conflict resolution formula they teach starting in sixth grade - What each panelist wishes they had been taught growing up - Practical advice for parents, including book recommendations DARCHEINU & OUR PATH SEL The high numbers of individuals suffering from abuse and/or addiction that Amudim has assisted since its inception, demonstrates the need for a proactive program that employs education and empowerment to prevent people from ever being victimized. The Darcheinu and non-ideological Our Path SEL curricula are fully encompassing, 30 week school curricula that teach children about potential dangers and how to avoid them. This necessary culturally sensitive initiative uses the proven formula of social and emotional learning (SEL) to provide students with the tools they need for success in today’s risk-filled world.
