Emotionally Intelligent Parenting with Stephanie Pinto

87: Who Are You Calling Soft?? Emotional Intelligence Is NOT About Being a 'Nice' Person.


Listen Later

Have you ever been around someone who’s like, “Emotional intelligence is being all soft, sweet, and floating around in a cloud of feelings all day…” and you’re like, “Aww, that’s cute. NO.”


Emotional intelligence is not about being calm all the time.

It’s not about never getting angry, or letting your kids walk all over you.

And it’s definitely not about sitting in a circle holding hands and talking about your feelings 24/7.


It is about knowing yourself, managing your reactions, showing up with empathy, and staying motivated—even when everything’s a hot mess.


And honestly? There’s still so much misconception around EI, especially in the parenting world.


“You're raising snowflakes!”, “You must talk about emotions all day!” Umm. Who even has time for that?!


So here’s the truth: emotional intelligence helps you make smarter, more efficient, more connected, more productive… like, everything you actually want.

And it has nothing to do with floating on clouds or never saying no to your kids lol.


If you’ve ever thought, “Am I just too emotional,” or “Everyone says I need to toughen up,” take a seat!!


Emotional intelligence isn’t weakness—it’s power.


Enjoy!
