EmailPREPESSENTIALS® – Cultivate your child’s emotional intelligence...
Every child needs to gain emotional intelligence - the ability to know what she is feeling and to use the feeling as information for guiding behaviour. Every step a child takes in building these essential skills will serve her in every setting for the rest of her life. The quality of her relationships and the success a child achieves in the real world will in part be determined by these fundamental skills.
While many parents focus on their child's intellectual development, research indicates that approximately 4-10% of your child's career success will be determined by IQ (Intelligence Quotient, a standard measure that assigns a number relative to a normal curve describing intelligence).
That leaves the question open - what does determine my child's career success? A big chunk of the answer is emotional intelligence. Another significant factor in your child's life success is interpersonal success - how well a child gets along with others. A great deal of social success is driven by emotional intelligence. This means that your child's ability to understand her own emotions, read other people's emotions, and express herself skillfully will in large part drive how successful she is in being liked and supported by others.
Think of emotional intelligence as a long-term investment in your child's well-being!
