Emotional Intelligence
Children aren't born knowing how to manage frustration, handle disappointment, understand other people's feelings, or calm themselves when they're upset. These skills develop over time, with support from caring adults.
Emotional intelligence is the ability to understand and manage emotions, build healthy relationships, and navigate life's challenges with resilience. Children with strong emotional intelligence tend to be happier, more empathetic, and better able to cope with setbacks.
The resources below will help you raise a child who can understand feelings, manage emotions, and thrive in relationships.
