Episode 86: Social-Emotional Development: What we all could learn |What Would Dr. Meyers Do? Podcast

In this episode, we burrow into the fascinating world of social-emotional development and explore how we, as adults, can enhance our ability to connect with others and grow both emotionally and socially.
There seem to be similarities and even some overlap between social workers and teachers in regard to their perspectives on interpersonal relations and the development of essential life skills. Social-emotional learning (SEL) is an educational concept integrated into school curriculums, focusing on the individual learning and application of a set of social, emotional, and related skills, behaviors, and values that enable students to succeed in school. But how can these principles be applied to our lives as adults?
In this video, we'll discuss:
- The importance of social-emotional learning and its impact on children and adults.
- Practical strategies to enhance your own social-emotional skills.
- Insights from psychology and education on fostering better interpersonal relationships.
- The role of empathy, self-awareness, and emotional regulation in personal growth.
