This week's challenge is to practice Emotion Coaching which not only builds empathy, it also builds Emotional Quotient (EQ) also known as Emotional Intelligence (EI). Some researchers believe that EQ is just as important, if not more than IQ. Research shows 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 practice our Emotional Coaching skills, which for some, can take a lifetime to master. If we use this practice with our children, and with other adults in our lives such as partners, co-workers, and friends, this will help strengthen those relationships as well as build our empathy and EQ.
