Some researchers believe that Emotional Intelligence(EI) or Emotional Quotient (EQ) is more important than IQ. EQ testing has has not replaced IQ testing, but other tests show that children and adults who have a high EQ are happier, are more efficient and effective as students and employees, have longer lasting relationships, and are physically healthier. To help us, and our children build their EQ, we should become better Emotional Coaches. For some, it is difficult to master Emotional Coaching, it takes practice, sometimes years of it. If we practice Emotion Coaching with our children, even with other adults in our lives such as partners, co-workers, and friends, this will help strengthen those relationships as well.
