The belief of programs like those I named in this blog post is that social and academic learning must not be separated but taught together as seamlessly as possible. More about this soon in addressing this way of teaching and its impact on what are now defined as 21st Century Skills. Chip Thanks, Gayle – I was moved by your admonition.

I was quite interested to read this post! As a first grade teacher who recently taught a very young impulsive group of first graders, I can certainly agree with the findings regarding school success and the ability for a student to self regulate! Upon your recommendation of the book "Nurture Shock," I poured over the chapter on "Can Self-Control Be Taught?" several times during the year. I was very eager to try some of the strategies for teaching self-control. My class enjoyed the challenge of the activities as we worked on controling our impulsivity! Most of my younger students made progress and worked with more focus. I fear this is becoming a trend. More and more students are coming in younger and are lacking in reasonable self control. Teachers must make the time to teach the social as well as the academics for our students to be successful! Hi Chip!
