In this episode of the Playful Connection Podcast, Eddie Shin will share four simple tips that you can implement today to start the journey of cultivating emotional intelligence in the lives of children and teens.

1. Teach Emotion Labeling
2. Model Emotional Regulation
3. Encourage Empathy
4. Use Emotionally Reflective Questions

Cultivating emotional intelligence in children and teens is like watering a garden. Just as a garden flourishes when it’s nurtured with care and attention, children and teens blossom emotionally when you help them understand and manage their feelings. By encouraging emotional growth, you’re creating a space for their emotional well-being to thrive, deepening your connection and fostering a healthy, supportive relationship.
