Emotional intelligence involves an array of skills that allow you or your child to understand and leverage emotions in ways that lead to more accurate self-awareness, greater confidence, more effective coping, stronger relationships, better decision making, and more academic and work success. Emotional intelligence does not mean that your child is emotional or must tell others everything he’s feeling. Rather emotional intelligence skills will allow your child to stand up to bullies, handle pressure, or become motivated to perform at his best—among many other things. Emotional intelligence is not the same thing as common sense, nor is it something we improve upon just because of life experience. Skills like emotional intelligence must be learned and practiced.

It is a constant struggle as a parent and educator to ensure our children are developing well on an emotional front too. Of course, we have books, we have elders help, and we look at others do it, but then, in reality, it's the kids and us. How we react, and how we act depends on a lot of variables. Hence, being adults, we need to ensure that the child’s emotional intelligence is nurtured and sustainable growth occurs in our relationships.  I am sharing the process that I have established and am still working on to ensure relationships are nurtured. Please feel free to share your thoughts and processes so that we may evolve this process and learn from this.

Setting strong personal boundaries is not a cure-all In fact, they’re more of a side effect of having a healthy self-esteem and generally low levels of neediness with people around you.

Boundaries in relationships work both ways: they create emotional health and are created by people with emotional health. They are something you can start working on today with the people close to you and you’ll begin to notice a difference in your self-esteem, confidence, emotional stability, and so on.

Dealing with change can be hard, but life transitions are unavoidable. There are times when we just don’t feel equipped to deal with change as it is happening to us. Life transitions for women, men, and couples can be brought from happy or stressful events. During a person’s life, it is normal to experience major changes. For parent’s, this change may be from an “empty nest.” For newlyweds, coping with change for new roles, expectations, and future planning with another person, might be experienced. All life transitions require some level of resiliency, adaptability and a positive outlook.

Without these mindset characteristics, the changes in life causing stress could have a negative impact and create a barrier to joy and happiness. People who are experiencing trouble coping with life transitions greatly benefit from the experienced feedback of a therapist. Learning ways to maximize resiliency is critical in life as changes are inevitable.

It is important to learn healthy ways to process change and be able to develop adaptability. Personal growth and wisdom come from experience that is gained during life transitions. Being mindful of your physical and mental health during these transitions is important. Taking regular inventory of your stress levels can give you an indication of whether you need to slow down or take a break.

Conflict resolution – Standing up to Temper Tantrums and Bullying

Tantrums come in all shapes and sizes.

They can involve spectacular explosions of anger, frustration and disorganized behavior – when your child ‘loses it’.

You might see screaming, stiffening limbs, an arched back, kicking, falling down, flailing about, or running away. In some cases, children hold their breath, vomit, break things or hurt themselves or other people as part of a tantrum. Keep your cool when responding to a tantrum. Don't complicate the problem with your own frustration or anger.

Conflict resolution and bullying prevention are natural partners. Conflict is an important part of growing up but bullying is not. Conflict teaches kids how to give and take. They also learn how to come to an agreement and how to solve problems. Bullying only wounds kids. Everyone experiences conflict from time to time. It is a normal part of life. Learning to deal with it in a healthy way helps kids master the social skills they need.

June 29 – Dealing with Fear

Think about your biggest goal. Why haven’t you accomplished it yet? Fear is the limiting factor stopping you from working toward what you want. Fear distracts us and leads to excuses – but it doesn’t have to. Learning how to overcome fear is one of the most liberating pursuits you can undertake.

It’s easy to pretend fear isn’t influencing you and to make excuses as to why you haven’t achieved what you’re capable of. Instead of turning around and hiding from it, treat fear as a cue to take action, not an excuse. Look at your goal. If you let fear chase you away from achieving it, then you’ve effectively given in.

Fear of uncertainty, fear of failure and other common fears all stem from one area: the limiting beliefs holding you back. I am sharing the process that I have established and am still working on to ensure relationships are nurtured. Please feel free to share your thoughts, and your processes so that we may evolve this process and learn from this.

June 23- Nurturing Relationships

Nurturing is a critical skill for all life forms on the planet. For human beings, it is perhaps the single most important characteristic to have for all of us to live in peace, happiness, and tranquility.  When nurturing is not present, it is obvious that human beings can be vindictive and ugly to each other.  What does nurturing mean to us?

1.  To follow the Golden Rule: "treat other people how you want to be treated yourself."

2. Respect and care for yourself, others, and the environment.

3. Do not hurt yourself, others, or the environment.

4. Know that all things around you have value and worth.

5. It is good in all things.

Based on the above tenets, I am sharing the process that I have established and am still working on to ensure relationships are nurtured. Please feel free to share your thoughts, and your processes so that we may evolve this process and learn from this. #JRSBytes #JRSLearner4Life #parenting #kids #moms #children #parentingtips #support #advice #psychology #time #momlife #parentinghack #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness

After my last episode, many people reached out to me and we had a wonderful discussion about how we can bond with our children, so that they may reach out to the adults in their life, without any reservation. This bond that we establish will help us and them learn, receive feedback and grow as individuals. It will give them a wonderful core so that they evolve into truly global citizens. I have shared what I do to establish this bond with my children. Please feel free to share your thoughts, and your processes so that we may evolve this process and learn from this. #JRSBytes #JRSLearner4Life #parenting #kids #moms #children #parentingtips #support #advice #psychology #time #momlife #parentinghack

Have you ever reflected on how important the tone of your inner voice and world is, how your gut feeling can help you make successful choices and how your negative thoughts can weaken you and make you go in the completely wrong direction?  A healthy mind is crucial for well-being, but is quite often forgotten when we talk about wellness. Our mind is complex and there is a lot to talk about. What fascinates me is the voices we constantly hear inside our heads all day long. No, I am not a crazy person, I mean the voices we all have, our thoughts and our inner voice, or gut feeling. The voices that either lift us up or push us down. The voices that eventually make up our perception of the outer world and our own reality.

Do share your thoughts about my process of counteracting negative thoughts

The oceans have it all: from microscopic life to the largest animal that has ever lived on Earth, from the colorless to the shimmering, from the frozen to the boiling and from the sunlit to the mysterious dark of the deepest parts of the planet.

Oceans are an essential component of the Earth's ecosystem -- a source of biodiversity, food, and life. According to FAO, over 40 percent of the world's population lives within 100 kilometers of the coast. Better management of ocean resources is thus crucial to ensuring global food security.

We are never too young to start learning about the many benefits our oceans provide. Without them, life could not exist.

Unfortunately, different human activities are putting our oceans under threat. Overfishing reduces fish populations, threatening the supply of nutritious food and changing marine food webs. Approximately 80 percent of the pollution in the oceans comes from land, and coastal zones are especially vulnerable to pollutants. Plastics are also particularly problematic with enormous floating rubbish patches forming in the oceans. Climate change and its related impacts, such as ocean acidification, affect some marine species' survival. Coastal development is destroying and degrading important coastal marine ecosystems such as coral reefs, seagrass meadows, and mangroves.

We need clean and healthy oceans to support our own health and survival, even if we don’t live anywhere near them. Each and every one of us can make a difference, it’s time to take action! Think about which threats to the oceans concern you the most or think about which ocean plants, animal species, habitats, or ecosystems you want to conserve, protect and restore locally and globally. Here are just a few actions you can undertake:

1. Conserve: campaign to prevent the pollution of a local coastal environment or reduce the use of plastics so that less of it ends up in our oceans.

2. Protect: help protect an ecosystem or species by campaigning to have it covered by your government’s laws or international policies.

3. Restore: take part in beach clean-ups, and involve others, including the youth.

June 5th – Environment Day

“There is mounting evidence, from dozens and dozens of researchers, that nature has benefits for both physical and psychological human well­being,” “You can boost your mood just by walking in nature, even in urban nature. And the sense of connection you have with the natural world seems to contribute to happiness even when you’re not physically immersed in nature.”

Green spaces near schools promote cognitive development in children and green views near children’s homes promote self-control behaviours. Adults assigned to public housing units in neighbourhoods with more green space showed better attentional functioning than those assigned to units with less access to natural environments. And experiments have found that being exposed to natural environments improves working memory, cognitive flexibility and attentional control, while exposure to urban environments is linked to attention deficits. With this in mind it is imperative to ensure our environment is well protected.

Protecting our environment is everyone's job because we all have an impact. Although keeping our little corner of the planet clean and green may seem daunting at times, even small steps add up.
