Imagine being able to handle tantrums, sibling squabbles, and homework meltdowns with the calm and clarity of a seasoned diplomat. That’s the magic of emotional intelligence (EQ) – a superpower every mum can develop to transform chaos into connection.

What is Emotional Intelligence? Emotional intelligence is the ability to recognise, understand, and manage your own emotions while empathising with and responding to others. It’s like a secret weapon for raising emotionally aware, resilient kids.

Why EQ Matters for Mums:

• Stronger Relationships: Building trust and open communication with your kids.
• Better Problem-Solving: Handling tricky situations with confidence and clarity.
• Role Modelling: Showing your kids how to manage their emotions effectively.

3 Quick Tips to Boost Your EQ Today:

1. Practice Self-Awareness: Pause and name your emotions throughout the day: "I’m feeling overwhelmed because there’s so much to do."
2. Stay Present: Practice mindfulness to ground yourself in the moment.
3. Validate Emotions: Show your child empathy by acknowledging their feelings: "I see you’re upset about losing your toy."
