Today it is very common for people to talk about emotional intelligence; however, many are unaware of its importance in their lives and especially in children’s lives. So, what is emotional intelligence, and what is it for?
Emotional intelligence is the ability of human beings to feel, understand, identify, modify, and balance their own and others’ emotions. However, when we are little, we can develop this kind of intelligence during childhood. It is enhanced through experience and age; emotional intelligence will mature.
Considering the above, parents must teach children to know and manage their emotions. This will allow them to have greater control over those things that happen to them, and their self-esteem will be strengthened. But this can only be done through contact with others, so it is crucial to provide children with free spaces to interact with their peers. Children must have that person they call a friend.
Emotional intelligence favors children and helps adults properly function in different contexts and provide benefits to society. In short, if, as a parent, you are seeking to form a successful person, you should bear in mind that cognitive intelligence is not enough to achieve this. It must work together with emotional intelligence.
A child with emotional intelligence can express what he/she feels without hurting others. But, on the other hand, he/she recognizes and understands the emotions of another person. He/she can face new challenges and solve problems that arise along the way. Thus, for a child to grow up happy, cognitive, and emotional development must be given the same value.
