Our Decisions has the power to make or break us and to create our destiny.
Where ever we are in our life today, it's because of the decision we made in past. Be it choosing stream after 10th class, taking up a Job or start our own business, buying our first car, house, getting married, having kids or even buying clothes we wearing today! How we made these decisions? All of these were rational and logical decisions? Sometimes but not always.
All of our decisions are mainly influenced by EMOTIONS and justified with logic (we don't always justify it with logic). Unfortunately, we are not trained on emotional skills and some of us (we may call them fortunate one or lucky one) get accidentally trained in these most important skills of life.
While great importance is given to Intelligence Quotient and its development, when it comes to Emotional Quotient, the child is left to figure it out himself/herself. It is now a commonly accepted fact that a child with high EQ is better equipped for success. In fact according to leading psychologists around the world, EQ contributes 80% to a child’s happy and successful life while IQ contributes a mere 20%. Yet we neglect this aspect of growing up.
Now you can change that by enrolling your child into board games based workshops and programs that develop, nurture and sustain EQ (Emotional Quotient) of your child.
Presenting ThinkTap Programs for developing EQ in children in the 6-13 year group
The workshops will help children to be emotionally balanced and inculcate a positive outlook towards life.
Board games combine fun with EQ learning
ThinkTap uses its specifically designed Board games as the main learning tool in its workshops. Board Games have been acknowledged as a fun way for children to learn things. It is informal learning at its best. So while we have an agenda to teach the child Emotional Intelligence, the way we do it is by ensuring the children have a pleasurable learning experience.
