How to Raise a Child With a High EQ: A Parents' Guide to Emotional Intelligence

Why EQ is more important than IQ? Studies show that emotional intelligence-the social and emotional skills that make up what we call character-is more important to your child's success than the cognitive intelligence measured by IQ. And unlike, IQ, emotional intelligence can be developed in kids at all stages. In How to Raise a Child with a High EQ, Lawrence E. Shapiro, Ph.D., explains how you can teach your child to: make and keep friends, work within a group, speak and listen effectively, assert herself, stand up to bullies, empathize with others, solve problems, resolve conflicts, laugh at himself, motivate herself when times are tough, face difficult situations with confidence, feel comfortable with intimacy, and use computers to boost his emotional skills.
