Studies show that emotional intelligence -- the social and emotional skills that make up what we call character -- is more important to your child's success than the cognitive intelligence measured by IQ. And unlike IQ, emotional intelligence can be developed in kids at all stages.

Filled with games, checklists and practical parenting techniques, "How to Raise a Child with a High EQ" will help your child to cope with -- and overcome -- the emotional stress of modern times and the normal problems of growing up.

Synopsis:

In 1996, Daniel Goleman introduced the world to the concept of EQ, revealing how people with well-developed emotional skills are more likely to succeed than those with intellect alone. Today, EQ has become one of the hottest topics in child psychology. This text is a practical guide for parents who want to apply Goleman's theories of emotional intelligence to child rearing. It contains easy to follow checklists, parenting dos and don'ts, and activities that parents can use to increase their child's social and emotional intelligence.
