Listen Later

As parents, we want our children to be able to recognize, understand, and regulate their emotions. But in order to help our children develop their emotional intelligence, we must also continuously develop ours. I am joined today by Dr. Maiysha Clairborne who is sharing all about emotional intelligence and how we can support our children develop emotional fluency.

Dr. Maiysha Clairborne is a Physician, Thought Leader, Consultant, & Neurolinguistic Programming Trainer. A TEDX Speaker and the founder of Mind Re-Mapping Co., she helps individuals become trauma-responsive by teaching the tools of trauma informed listening, conscious communication and emotional intelligence. Focused on equity and inclusiveness in healthcare, education, and corporations, she teaches her audiences that by mastering their emotional fluency & thought habits, they can mitigate harm by being responsible for the impact of their words & behaviors. Dr. Clairborne is a graduate of Emory University, Morehouse School of Medicine. A 2022 TEDx Asheville Speaker, she is also the co-author of Conscious Anti-Racism.

In today's episode, we talk about the five elements of emotional fluency, how to help develop this within ourselves and within our children, and the importance of modeling for our children.
