Brain research has given us great information about how the brain develops.  Emotional Intelligence is part of the building framework of a child's IQ.  Today at the Elementary Parent Coffee I was able to share the following presentation on child brain development and helping you child build their emotional intelligence.

We know that the best way to teach a child emotional intelligence is to model it.  Here are some ways to help you as parents begin to cope and calm your emotions by perceiving them, understanding what you are feeling, using your emotions to guide your learning and managing your emotions in  a healthy way:

- practice mindfulness (meditate, yoga, deep breathing)
- exercise regularly
- eat healthy
- get social support
- write about your emotions
- if needed seek therapy (AISB has a referral list for therapists in Bucharest)
- above all....take deep breathes and attempt to not react in anger towards your child
