Emotional intelligence is the "ability to identify, manage, and regulate your own emotions and the emotions of others." Why is this important? Research has found that people with high emotional intelligence are happier and more successful in life. Children (and adults) who are emotionally intelligent have these skills: Self-Awareness: They understand their own emotions. Self-Regulation: They can regulate and manage their reactions. Decision-Making: They make better, more informed choices. Empathy: They understand the emotions of others. Social Skills: They can build social connections with others. Children who develop their emotional intelligence are able to empathize with others, solve problems, and develop healthier relationships.
