    Do your children have trouble giving voice to their feelings? Do you think Emotional Intelligence is more important than Intelligence (IQ)? Do you feel that Emotional Quotient (EQ) should be nurtured in school's course curriculum?

    Hi, emotional intelligence and children go hand in hand. It is said that emotional intelligence is the ability to handle the feelings and they can be improved in kids through various ways. It is difficult for the parents to understand the feelings the child is going through. The child needs to be taught how to convey his feelings to his parents so that they understand what exactly is happening. When the child starts expressing his or her feelings it will be easy for the parents to understand their situation. The parents have to understand their child’s emotional intelligence.

    Firstly, it is necessary that all the parents understand the meaning of emotional intelligence. Emotional intelligence is the capability of a person to express and handle his feelings properly in a productive manner. Today children’s intelligence quotient as well as emotional quotient is crucial and the parents need to help their children in developing it. When children are feeling low and depressed the exact reason behind it is not known by the parents unless the children tell them. It is important that the children learn to express their feelings in front of their parents so that the parents can help them.

    Hello, I think every parent should develop emotional intelligence in their children as it also helps in the development of the emotional self-awareness in children. When children develop it properly they will start understanding their feelings and also understand the importance of sharing the emotions and feelings with parents and other peers. Once they understand their feelings they will also understand how to handle their feelings and manage them properly, it will also help them understand in front of whom to open up and how to handle the stress. Parents can help the children and support their feelings when required.

    This is a very sensitive subject and I absolutely agree with you that children need to be taught how to handle their feelings and how to develop the emotional intelligence. Parents can teach the children how to handle the situations and their feeling in the situation. They can also teach the children how to handle conflicting and upsetting feelings during a situation. Developing emotional intelligence also helps in proper dealing with empathy, self-motivation and other important social skills. Emotional intelligence is necessary for a child to understand his feelings and himself as well as the feelings of others and it is measured in emotional intelligence quotient.

    Hi, emotional intelligence is necessary and the emotional intelligence quotient is also necessary to be known. It is said that a child who has a higher emotional quotient will tend to be more responsible and respectful to himself and others. He will have well developed social skills and the ability to show empathy will be more to the child. The child might also find it easy to develop self-restraint and he will also have a well-developed self-motivated self. The children who have low emotional intelligence quotient will find himself to be helpless. He might not be able to handle stress and feelings and might get all over the place.

    Hi, it is necessary that children receive proper emotional intelligence training from the parents. There are children who get very less emotional support from their parents at home. This can make him more vulnerable to be under peer pressure and depression. The child can also face anxiety and worries and he may hide his feelings from all and might turn into a shell. He might not able to face the world outside and in the fear of being hurt he might just become quiet. This can make the child an under-achiever and can be bullied or he can himself turn into a bully.

    It is the responsibility of the parents to take care of the children and understand their emotional quotient. It is equally important that you nurture your child’s importance and understand the feelings behind his behavior. It is necessary that you motivate your children to speak up and show their feelings and express it to you so that you can help your child handle them. Try to talk to your child more and understand his feelings as he may not be able to express his feelings every time. Helping your child overcoming all the problems he is facing can also help build a strong bond between you and him.

    The most important thing according to me which should be taught by the parents is that the children should understand the importance of feelings and expressing it. This way you can start teaching the emotional quotient to your child. You can describe and show him your feelings so that he understands the meaning and also understand how to classify feelings in different ways. You can also test your child’s IQ there are several centres where these IQ tests are taken and from the score you can understand how much you need to work on your child.

    i feel emotional ability is nothing but ones ability to express his or her emotions or convey ones emotions very clearly to the intended person so i feel it is directly linked to expressing ability of a person and nothing else so its advisable for schools to include a program to develop childrens emotional quotient
