Leave No Child Behind: Nurturing Emotional Intelligence In Children With Dr. Tracee Perryman

 For decades, the educational system has emphasized academic excellence to the degree that social-emotional learning is compromised. But until a child is emotionally and cognitively present, it is very difficult to introduce content standards and academic content. Dr. Tracee Perryman believes that nurturing emotional intelligence is key to fostering developmentally-appropriate learning to our children. In this conversation with Whitney Lauritsen, she discusses how she uses her expertise in developmental psychology to help under-resourced children achieve their full potential and leave no child behind in the process. Dr. Perryman also explains how she encourages children to learn with technology, how she supports them in terms of mental health, and how she helps parents teach their children and understand what success looks like for different children. Dr. Perryman is doing pivotal work when it comes to helping the underprivileged transcend barriers, close the opportunity gap, and promote inclusion on purpose.
