Nurture Emotional Intelligence in Children
18 November 2021, Thursday
8:30pm – 9:30pm Singapore Time
Emotional intelligence, believed by some to be more important that cognitive intelligence, is about being aware of, as well as being able to manage your own and others’ emotions. Emotions is often a complicated and abstract concept for children and many do not think it is possible to control their feelings, nor know how to manage them.
Helping children develop strong emotional intelligence has many important benefits. Children who understand their emotions and have the skills to deal with them will be confident that they can handle challenges that come their way, contributing to stronger mental resilience. Children who can express their emotions in constructive ways and understand others’ emotions will enjoy more successful relationships, paving the way for future personal and professional success.
Understanding how emotions arise in the brain, the link between thoughts and emotions, and learning how to manage self-talk are all useful tools to help your child better manage these unseen yet powerful internal forces. Join us at the webinar as we explore these important topics!
