Teaching children social and emotional skills is getting new attention in the world of education. Some experts say doing arts and crafts at home and at school can help build those abilities. Marygrace Berberian is an art therapist and social worker who teaches at New York University. She says that because the creative process requires invention and trial-and-error, children can learn to manage frustration through art. She says the creative process can also teach children to connect to the more emotional parts of themselves. Calls for social and emotional skills are coming from many areas, says Jacqueline Jodl. She directs the Aspen Institute’s National Commission on Social, Emotional, and Academic Development. “Families and parents are requesting help with social and emotional learning,” she says. “Teachers also are really starting to express demand for it.” Jodl says the business community also continues to ask for students with a wider mix of skills than those traditionally taught at schools.
