EQ Kids: Healthy Minds, Happy Hearts

  • Hornsby RSL 4 High Street Hornsby, NSW 2077 Australia (map)

Parents and kids (ages 9-12) come together to learn the essence of EQ and gain real time, effective strategies to live an emotionally intelligent life.

Help your child feel heard and supported as they learn how to navigate the complex emotional landscape. Experts and educators are saying EQ in kids matters more than IQ - your child’s intelligence quotient. Teachers also report that high-EQ kids are more co-operative and make better leaders in the classroom.

The emotionally intelligent child is also one who can label their own emotions accurately, regulate them and control reactions to them. A child with a high EQ can also handle more complex social situations and build meaningful friendships, in part because of that ability to relate to or empathise with peers.

As a child grows into a teen and then an adult, EQ becomes tied to internal motivation and self-regulation. It governs how they make decisions and cope with stress, solve problems and pursue goals. No child wants a perfect parent but someone they can trust as their champion and guide in this big, sometimes scary world.

Come along with your child!
