EQ4Kidstheme of the week - EQ 4 Emotions

Emotions play a crucial role in our mental and physical well-being, and understanding them is key. Emotional intelligence (EQ) helps children learn to understand, express, and manage their emotions in a healthy way. This week, we focus on the importance of emotions for children and how EQ can help them navigate the world with greater self-awareness, empathy, and problem-solving skills. Join us and discover why emotions are so important for children and how EQ can help them thrive.

One way to boost our willpower and focus is to manage our distractions instead of letting them manage us. - Daniel Goleman

https://www.eq4kids.co.za/should-emotions-be-taught-in-schools

Should emotions be taught in schools? Our unresolved, unacknowledged feelings can lead us into anxiety, arguments and worse. Some educators believe it’s time to give our kids emotional instruction along with their ABCs.

You can conquer almost any fear if you will only make up your mind to do so. For remember, fear doesn't exist anywhere except in the mind. - Dale Carnegie

"Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world." - Nelson Mandela

The Things We Model For Our Kids There are many things that we as parents model for our kids. Sometimes we do this without even realising it. As parents, we are the biggest role models in the lives of our children, especially in their early childhood years.

EQ4Kids Theme of the Week - EQ 4 Role Models

Your primary job as a parent is to help mould your kids into kind, respectful, honest, and caring people. And, sometimes the easiest way to do that is to be a good role model. This may mean taking a closer look at your own habits and making some changes. But, if you do, both you and your kids will benefit.
