One of the fastest ways to raise your own Emotional Intelligence as a parent (or non-parent!) is to increase your emotional vocabulary.

Did you know that over 90% of people have a handful of emotion words in their vocabulary, which leads them to struggle to recognise and express accurarely how they’re feeling. This in turn causes them to have great difficulty when trying to regulate these emotions.

A poor emotional vocabulary often causes a sense of confusion, overwhelm and that feeling of being stuck in a pit with no way out but to wait for time to pass. This is severely unproductive and a waste of time.

Use this Emotion Wheel to build a robust emotional vocabulary as part of your journey to becoming an emotionally intelligent parent.
