School classrooms have become very complex environments. And that’s without referring to challenges like funding, curriculum changes and managing different learning styles.

Screen time, social media, and long hours of gaming are eroding things like basic social skills, the ability to make eye contact and build and maintain friendships. Anxiety levels are high, self-esteem levels are low and those are just the ones that make it to class.

Leaving educators trying to balance many complicated levels of sensitive and diverse needs. 

The bottom line is, that in terms of essential social intelligence skills, students just don’t have what they need.

So how can we help them?
