Essential Update #3 How do social and emotional conditions affect learning?

In my opinion emotion has a particularly strong influence on attention, especially modulating the selectivity of attention as well as motivating action and behavior .

Social and Emotional Learning is helpful to both children and adults, increasing self-awareness, academic achievement, and positive behaviors both in and out of the classroom.

The social environment influences learning by creating a language environment and an experience environment which stimulate the mind to grow, and by systematically rewarding a child for learning.
