    "Social and emotional learning expert and longtime Edutopia blogger Maurice Elias pointed us to a fantastic resource to share with parents. Produced by NBC's Education Nation project, the Parent Toolkit website has comprehensive resources and minute-long videos for parents of kids at every age and grade. The content covers a variety of topics, including health and wellness, academics, and the social and emotional development series that Maurice contributed to.
