There are many to thank for helping this book come to fruition. Stefani Roth, Genny Ostertag, and Allison Scott saw the need for a book connecting brain research to social-emotional learning. Without their support, this would not have come at such an important time for all students and educators. I wish to also thank Miriam Calderone, who always makes me sound so much better. She is an extraordinary editor, and I so appreciate her help.

The experts in the field are many, so I will try to mention those whose work affected me most. Dr. Nadine-Burke Harris, Dr. Bessel van der Kolk, Dr. Dan Siegel, Dr. David Sousa, Dr. Eric Jensen, Dr. Pat Wolfe, Dr. Judy Willis, Dr. Mary Helen Immordino-Yang, Dr. Bob Sapolsky, Dr. Bruce Perry, and Dr. Lori Desautels all added to my knowledge about the brain and the effects of emotions, stress, and trauma on the brain and body.

To Doug Fisher, Nancy Frey, Maurice Elias, Michele Borba, Marc Brackett, Matt Liebowitz, Lisa Barrett, Michael McKnight, Thomas Armstrong, Meena Srinivasan, and Mr. Fred Rogers: thank you all for your contributions to this field to help our students succeed in school and in life.

Always, I am grateful for the love and support of my husband, Scott.
