How can I nurture emotional intelligence in children?
assistant
One of the best ways to nurture emotional intelligence in children is by modeling behavior that displays strong emotional intelligence. Help children to practice self-awareness and self-regulation by talking to them about their feelings and how they can manage them in a healthy way. Encourage children to think about how their behavior affects others, including whether or not it is kind. Play games that involve taking turns, cooperating with others, and responding kindly to people in difficult situations. Provide children with opportunities to make decisions and practice problem-solving. Most of all, give children an environment that is supportive and accepting of their feelings.
