Summary:
Self-regulation is the nervous system's way of responding to stress. Many of the new generation of children and teens face excessively high levels of stress and the result is an explosion of emotional, social, learning, behavior, and physical health problems. Shanker shows how helping children learn self-regulation techniques can improve concentration and help children feel empathy, which can result in profound and lasting transformation.
