Between Parents

Have you ever met an academically smart person who doesn't connect well with others? Or someone who frequently misses the emotions of those around them? A lack of Emotional Intelligence is often to blame. Fortunately, these skills can be learned and strengthened. The BEST time to improve your abilities is now, and the place is in a family setting. Next Steps: Process the idea of EI by taking a few steps: First, conduct an honest self-evaluation and rank yourself on Emotional Intelligence - give yourself a # between 1-10 (don't pick 7!) Next, ask someone you trust to give you feedback on what you do that would argue for both a HIGHER and a LOWER number Finally, apply this idea to your family: - How do you think your family's specific personalities lend themselves to Emotional Intelligence? How does your family do with presenting their emotions well... or with empathy for each other? - What are some of the opportunities to practice this and become better?
