Emotional Intelligence is the single biggest predictor of every child's future success, health and happiness. But how do we teach it? If you have ever wondered how to reach your child, how to help them cope with difficult emotions and events, how to help them manage their behavior or deal with bullies and how to help them feel safe in the world, understand consequences and make better choices, Wise Child Happy Child will get you started on a brand new journey. Wise Child Happy child is the only workbook on the market designed to step children independently through a foundation curriculum in emotional intelligence. And Wise Child Happy Child covers the poorly understood but most important determinant of self-awareness: a skilfull understanding of cause and effect. Wise Child Happy Child is a simple, fun activity book children can do on their own from age 8, or with support from age 4. Learn how to develop the most common indicators of EQ - self-awareness, self-management and empathy. Practice compassion for self and others, build focus and attention and, most importantly, understand the law of cause and effect. If your child kept touching the hot stove and burning their hand you would teach them the cause and effect relationship that was leading to their pain so they could make a better choice for their physical wellbeing. In the same way we can teach our children the cause and effect relationships behind their emotional wellbeing and help them make better choices. Many of the social and emotional messages our children receive are the emotional equivalent of 'go ahead and touch the hot stove, it will make you happy' so Wise Child Happy Child provides opportunities for your child to develop a more skillful understanding of cause and effect. Through their guided explorations of their inner world they will develop the ability to better predict outcomes of their actions, words and thoughts. When we understand the way the world works life feels much safer and we learn positive ways to meet our own needs.
