This recent Huffington Post article speaks for itself:
Our kids have had an exceptionally bad hand dealt to them the past few months. They’ve been separated from their entire social structure, their classrooms and all sense of normalcy. And parents have certainly struggled (to put it mildly) to keep up. So how can parents use this time at home ― whatever that looks like ― to teach their children other important life skills and foster their emotional intelligence?
HuffPo answers that question with a package of resources.
One part of the package outlines seven habits of highly emotionally intelligent kids. Those habits include
- Fluency with emotions, theirs and others
- Perspective taking
- Gratitude
The package includes links to other relevant HuffPo articles kids’ emotional intelligence.
Also, don’t miss the gallery of 35 children’s books that teach empathy and kindness.
