"The school curriculum has changed a lot from when many parents and
grandparents were at school.

Alongside new approaches to learning maths and increasing attention on
technology, there is a compulsory focus on social and emotional skills.

Children start developing these skills by watching and observing others as
babies. But they also need to be taught about them more actively – think about
parents telling kids to say “thank you” or making sure they take turns when
playing with friends.

How do schools teach social and emotional skills? And why is it important? Our
new research shows how these lessons can improve students’ wellbeing and lead
to better academic results."
