The Key to Success: Developing Emotional Intelligence in Young Children
by Gail Kushnir
Aschai Publishers, 2003Research by Gardner on multiple intelligences and Goleman on emotional intelligence has shown that emotional intelligence is crucial in building the foundations for educational, social and vocational success. The author of this book points out that it can be learned at all ages, but the earlier the better. Fostering emotional intelligence in young children will help these skills become second nature as children grow into productive adults. An emotionally secure child will be more independent, self-confident, tolerant, empathetic, and non-violent, both as a child and later as an adult. The Key to Success is a practical guide to help develop emotional intelligence. It provides hands-on activities to be used in pre-schools, in elementary schools, and at home. The chapters focus on curiosity, emotional expression, delaying gratification, organization skills, taking responsibility, and problem-solving. Parents, day-care providers, and pre -school teachers will find this an invaluable handbook.
