This gives the child a chance to get out of their way and to get the most for their well-being. Hence it’s importance of learning Emotional Intelligence as early as possible in our childhood. (Weinberg, Scarr & Waldman, 1992).
Emotional intelligence is a way to interact with the world. Being aware of feelings, which includes skills such as impulse control, self-esteem, motivation, enthusiasm, perseverance, empathy, mental agility, etc. They shape character traits like self-discipline, compassion and altruism, which is essential for a good and creative social adjustment.
