Powerful Parents: Developing Kids' Emotional Intelligence

  • Kids' Early Learning Seven Hills West 7 Florida Place Seven Hills Australia (map)

An emotionally intelligent child manages their emotions, builds meaningful friendships, has greater self-confidence and resilience.

EQ describes the skills a child requires to 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 their ability to relate to or empathise with peers.

Experts and educators are saying EQ (emotional intelligence) in kids matters more than IQ - your child’s intelligence quotient. 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.

Our Powerful Parents workshop is tailored right down to the individuals who attend on the day. Do NOT expect a boring powerpoint presentation with generic bullet points! We are here to level up your knowledge of emotional intelligence but will also let you guide the learning based on what you struggle with as a parent. You'll walk away with personalised strategies for your family to implement the very same day.

Your facilitators are EQkids co-founders: Stephanie Pinto, Certified EQ Coach and Trainer, accredited in The Resilience Doughnut process, Positive Behaviour Support and Speech Pathology, and Ush Dhanak, one of Australia's leading EQ experts, who has trained teams such as the Australia Federal Police and Smeg. A combination of skills that provides exceptional knowledge and insight for parents, who will gain simple yet effective strategies to use the very same day.

This workshop is for parents, if it is possible for kids to be taken care of by family or friends then parents can focus and stay engaged in the content to get the best out of the day. If you do need to bring kids along then they a small number of unsupervised activities will be available to them. Either way we'd love to have you there to help you learn all about EQ and how it can positively impact your family.
