Increase awareness, make better choices, and be more purposeful as a parent. Learn to navigate your child’s emotions – and your own – more effectively.
Parenting is the toughest job on the planet. There’s nothing like it — little to no training, steep learning curve, constant failure, and punishing hours. It increases stress and complexity, and often evokes big, challenging feelings. Emotional intelligence is being smarter with feelings, and it is an essential skillset for parents to cope and thrive.
Parents who practice emotional intelligence develop essential skills alongside their children, including how to:
• Navigate increasing complexity and stress
• Foster positive, healthy relationships
• Spark innovation and resilience
• Nourish compassion and inner peace
