Emotional Intelligence is important for parents when it comes to raising their children to become well-rounded individuals. It takes in the characteristics of the child, the family dynamics, parenting style and so much more.
What is Emotional Intelligence
Emotional intelligence is a concept researchers shared starting in the 1980s and 90s. The argument shared that your general intelligence (IQ) is a measurement of your ability to process information and come to sound decisions; while your emotional intelligence (EQ) is your ability to process both your and others emotions to make sound decisions.
It is the ability to understand, use and manage emotions in positive ways. It means being smarter with feelings and can help intentional parents be more purposeful in their parenting.
Research indicates that increased Emotional Intelligence leads to better health, academic achievement, and stronger relationships! It’s a learnable, measurable and scientifically grounded skill set that helps children.
