Being emotionally intelligent is an important soft skill.
We probably know people who are adept at managing their emotions. They don’t get upset in difficult situations. Instead, they have the ability to look at a problem and calmly find a solution. They’re excellent decision makers, and they know when to trust their intuition. They’re usually willing to look at themselves honestly. They take criticism well, and they know when to use it to improve their performance.
People with a high degree of emotional intelligence know themselves very well, and they’re also able to sense the emotional needs of others.
Thus, it is important to teach our children how to manage their emotions. This is a good article from Reader’s digest.
