Emotionally Intelligent Parenting: How to Raise a Self-disciplined, Responsible, Socially Skilled Child - Tapa blanda

Daniel Goleman's bestseller "Emotional Intelligence" opened a new way of thinking about the skills necessary for meeting life's challenges. Expanding on the insights brought to light by the same research project, this book presents parents with many practical, realistic ways to help children develop the qualities of emotional intelligence: self-awareness, control of impulsive behaviour, co-operative work habits, care for themselves, and sympathy for others. Full of examples, exercises and tips, the book acknowledges the often chaotic reality of home life as well as the difficulty of drawing strict boundaries between thoughts, feelings and actions. An eminently practical guide, this book aims to help parents bring the joys of emotional intelligence into family life.
