In this episode of the Conscious Early Learning Podcast, we sit down with Danica Joy, a mindfulness and emotional intelligence parenting coach. Danica shares her expertise on how parents and educators can nurture emotional intelligence in children while also developing their own self-regulation skills. We explore the role of energetics in adult-child dynamics, highlighting the importance of noticing and understanding your own emotions as the first step in emotional intelligence. Danica provides practical mindfulness tools to integrate into daily routines, helping both parents and children navigate big emotions with greater ease. We also discuss effective strategies for co-regulation and supporting children through challenging emotional experiences while maintaining a sense of calm and connection. Danica introduces her 6-week course, Tuning into Kids – Emotionally Intelligent Parenting, based on research from Melbourne University, which offers powerful tools for understanding and managing emotions.
