There are no new dates set for an upcoming Tuning in to Kids Program at this stage.

TUNING IN TO KIDS: EMOTIONALLY INTELLIGENT PARENTING

This is a six-week group program for parents and carers of children aged 4 – 12. It can help you to teach your child the skills of emotional intelligence.

 

What is Emotional Intelligence?

Emotional Intelligence is about using your emotions to guide you through the world.  It is about being able to use your knowledge of emotions to make decisions, to calm yourself down, to manage anger and conflict, to help you in your relationships with people, to understand what is happening in social situations, and to assist you in any aspects of life that involves you and another person.

Why is Emotional Intelligence important?

Children with greater emotional intelligence have been shown to:

  • have greater success with making friendships and be more able to manage conflict with peers
  • have better concentration, which means they are more likely to be successful academically
  • be more able to self soothe when upset or angry
  • tend to have fewer childhood illnesses
  • have more stable and satisfying relationships as adults; and
  • have greater career success and emotional intelligence may be a better predictor of academic and career success than IQ!

When parents focus on helping their child learn about emotions, the child is more likely to have higher emotional intelligence. In this parenting program we will teach parents what to do to help these skills develop.


There will be a Tuning in to Teens Program commencing on Thursday 18/02/21. See the flyer for further details: Flyer

TUNING IN TO TEENS: EMOTIONALLY INTELLIGENT PARENTING

Tuning in to Teens is a six-week Emotionally Intelligent  parenting program for parents and carers of adolescents aged 10 – 18.

  • be better at talking with your teen?
  • be better at understanding your teen?
