It’s a pretty common feeling among parents and teachers these days that today’s youth have underdeveloped social skills. Because so many kids are pre-occupied with their phones and tablets, they have fewer face-to-face encounters and are not learning to read and interpret many social cues. The result is kids are not fully developing solid emotional intelligence.
“We now know that mindfulness-based perspectives positively affect learning and the development of emotional intelligence. This approach is a type of metacognition that can promote self-control in thoughts and emotions in children.”

This can lead to improvements in both self-esteem and resilience.
