Wow! Does this look fascinating. PBS has a new series, This Emotional Life, on the role emotions play in a healthy, happy life. Watching this clip gives me goose bumps.

That is very surprising,

That is very surprising, teaching kids are one of the most interesting thing that you can do.You are not only teaching them but you also learn from them. Evaluating their emotional and social skills could be the hardest part but a true reprieve. In, school, teachers are looking for something for students to do to help them break in the New Year lull might look into a New Year's resolution worksheet for their students.Granted, New Year's resolutions don't always work out for adults, never mind for kids, but it may not be a bad idea, and since there are likely a billion templates on the web, no cash now is needed to buy a workbook with one in it.Any time of year is good to get students to think about self-improvement, and how to set goals and realize them, but New Year's seems like a perfect time to get them thinking about it.

Great

This is wonderful! The fact that they got famous people to participate will boost the show's ratings and in turn more people will learn about the power of emotions!  Another great step for SEL.

Proof of the power of emotional intelligence

This series looks interesting, entertaining and ultimately emotional!  Again, why WINGS for every child is a no-brainer.
