　　Donna Housman，a clinical psychologist，says it can.Social－emotional learning(SEL) that when children are able to become aware of their emotions and those of others and learn how to manage their emotions more effectively，they are better able to attend and focus on learning，”she says.

　　“Children are born ready to learn，”Housman says，so she believes it's vital to develop emotional skills to lay the foundation for their academic success.In Payton's research，the most marked effects were seen in young students，which is in line with Housman's belief that social－emotional learning works best when minds are young and easily influenced.
