Chapter 7 deals with the importance of teaching social and emotional skills. According to Bierman and Erath (2006), children with challenging behaviors tend to have difficulty in the social and emotional realm (as cited in Kaiser & Sklar Rasminsky, 2017, section 7.3). In section 7.3 there is a list to why these skills are so important. For this journal, you will reflect on three effects of social and emotional skills and discuss how these effects will help children during various points within their lives.
In your journal, address the following items:
Choose three of these effects of social and emotional skills and respond to the following questions. (You will include one paragraph for each example.)
Name the effect (e.g., behave more appropriately).
Explain how this effect will help the child make friends and get along with others.
Explain how this effect will help the child academically.
Explain how this effect will benefit the child later in life.
Explain how you could teach this effect in the classroom.

Recognize and Manage their Emotions
Recognizing and managing emotions mean understanding the links between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors (Magliano, 2017). Therefore, the child will be able to easily make friends and along with others if they understand how their emotions contribute to their actions. The child is less likely to say mean things or engage in fights with others. This means they will get along well with others and in the process make friends. Getting along well with others will mean actively discussing with peers class questions and engaging them well in groups.

Recognizing and managing emotions will help the child later in life navigate life challenges such as marital disagreements and conflict resolution at the workplace. I will use universal intervention, that is, teaching the whole class because this will leave no one out (Kaiser & Rasminsky, 2017). Specifically, I will make sure the learning is fun and include role-plays and games, and class-recorded videos. I am confident this will help the child as well other students adopt social and emotional skills that will be beneficial to their academic performance as well their later life.
Make Responsible Decisions
By making responsible decisions, the child is unlikely to engage in actions that compromise their relationships with others. In most situations, the child will understand how their decisions may impact others and as a result, they are bound to make decisions that will not harm others and the relationship with them. This will mean getting along with others and making friends. Academically, responsible decisions will mean responding well to teachers and participating actively in group work, which will improve their performance.
