The title is has activities for use by teachers and parents to help children – from toddlers to teens – develop their EQ. The 68 age-appropriate activities make use of everyday resources and show just how easy it can be to teach EQ. The activities are designed to help children identify and verbalise their feelings, leading to effective communication and the experience of being in charge rather than at the mercy of their feelings. Children learn to take risks, to accept setbacks as part of life, to learn from their experiences and above all to love being themselves. Children who have been taught the skills of EQ become more motivated, resilient and compassionate. It also enhances self-control and the peaceful resolution of conflicts.
