Nurture Your Child's Emotional Intelligence: 5 Steps To Help Your Child Cope With Big Emotions and Build Resilience

By Anne Lane

Book Overview

We teach our children how to read and how to ride a bike. We explain the weather and rainbows, and why refusing to wash is a bad idea. But when it comes to explaining a child's complex - often overwhelming - emotions, as parents we can feel completely unprepared. Clinical psychologist and family therapist Dr Anne Lane provides a compass through the kaleidoscope of emotions that 4-to-11-year-olds experience. Dr Lane will show you that a parent's role is not to try to get rid of unwanted emotions, but to help your child stay with their experiences and promote connection and acceptance. Instead of trying to shut down angry, anxious or distressing emotions, you will learn to be a secure, steady presence and a safe place for your child. By working through 5 simple steps, you will discover how to: 1. Aim for Simplicity, 2. Encourage Acceptance, 3. Respond with Compassion, 4. Increase Playfulness, 5. 'Contain' and Connect to Difficult Emotions, With your guidance, your child will be able to navigate their complex emotional world and develop a resilience and emotional intelligence that will accompany them through life.
