How to cultivate children's emotional intelligence

Emotional intelligence and IQ are two more important characteristics of children. If the child has high emotional intelligence, then he or she will naturally be able to deal with various problems and handle various matters well. However, if the emotional intelligence is low, the child may encounter obstacles in making friends or studying, so parents must take certain measures to cultivate their children's emotional intelligence. So, how can we train children's emotional intelligence?

We should tell children to learn to smile and smile more often. It doesn't matter if their emotional intelligence is not very high, as long as they are honest in their behavior and work. Smiling will leave a good first impression on others.

2. Learn to adjust yourself

Don't give people a very high-profile impression. Instead, be humble and cautious. Tell your children to make self-adjustments, think more, learn more, and communicate more, and they will improve slowly.

3. Listen to different opinions

We should tell our children to learn to listen, to listen to different opinions. When communicating with others, they often need to listen to opinions from multiple sides. They should not be self-centered and ignore other people's opinions.

A child’s growth is not always smooth sailing. There may be successes, failures, and even unrealistic fantasies. When you encounter difficulties and setbacks, you need more encouragement and support. Never pour cold water on them. Even though their dreams may seem strange to you, you should be happy that they have a strong imagination, which is the mentor of creation.

5. Cultivate self-confidence and the ability to withstand setbacks

A 12-year-old girl who was very promising in gymnastics came to see the head coach. Instead of asking her to perform gymnastics right away, the head coach gave her four darts and asked her to throw them at a target across the office. The little girl said timidly, “What if I miss?” The coach told her, “You should think about how to succeed, not how to fail.” The little girl practiced repeatedly and finally succeeded.

A boy couldn't climb up the first step of the slide because of his short legs. He begged his mother to carry him up. His mother told him: "Use your brain and you will find a way." The little boy thought for a while and said: "Drag my cart there and then stand on it." "Good, go ahead, child," said the mother. The little boy did this, and everything became very easy. There are some things in life that, as long as we pay a little attention, we can always come up with many ways to solve the problems.
