What is Emotional Intelligence?

Being smart about emotions. Specifically,

• Emotional self knowledge and self acceptance
• Sensitivity to the cues of others
• Empathy (which can be defined as the ability to see and feel something from the other’s point of view)
• The ability to regulate one’s own anxiety and anger in order to talk about emotionally charged issues in a constructive way.

The result is more insight, more ability to manage one's emotions and behavior, and better relationships.

Managing anxiety in order to tackle a big project, managing anger to work through a marital conflict, managing fear to apply for a job -- the ability of a human being to manage his or her emotions in a healthy way will determine the quality of his life in a much more fundamental way than his IQ. In fact, psychologists have come to call this ability EQ, or Emotional Intelligence Quotient.

In one huge longitudinal British study, babies were followed through childhood and into adulthood for fifty years. Their success and happiness in life was strongly correlated to their emotional intelligence. The famous Harvard Study of Adult Development's most revelatory finding has been that close relationships, made possible by emotional intelligence, are one of the most important factors in lifelong happiness and health.  Many other studies link emotional health to better physical health, more academic and employment success and happier marriages.

Your child’s EQ begins with her relationship with you.
