The heart of parenting. Raising an emotionally intelligent child

“Emotion-Coaching parents had children who later became what Daniel Goleman calls emotionally intelligent people. These coached children simply had more general abilities in the area of their own emotions than children who were not coached by their parents…. The children were better at soothing themselves when they were upset. They could calm down their hearts faster. Because of the superior performance in that part of their physiology that is involved in calming themselves, they had fewer infectious illnesses. They were better at focusing attention. They related better to other people, even in the tough social situations they encountered in mid dle childhood like getting teased, where being overly emotional is a liability, not an asset. They were better at understanding people. They had better friendships with other children. They were also better at situations in school that required academic performance. In short, they had developed a kind of IQ’ that is about people and the world of feelings, or emotional intelligence. This book will teach you the five steps of Emotion Coaching so that you can raise an emo tionally intelligent child.”
