Emotional (EQ)

Every child develops at their own pace, and emotional intelligence (EQ) is no exception. EQ is the ability to understand, use, and manage your own emotions, while also recognising and responding to the emotions of others. It’s a crucial skill that sets the foundation for healthy relationships, academic success, and overall well-being.

At ONE Intervention Centre, we believe in fostering a child’s complete development. This page focuses on the importance of emotional intelligence and how we can help your child grow in this area.

EQ can be broken down into several key components:

  • Self-Awareness: This is the ability to identify your own emotions and understand how they affect your thoughts and behaviour. A child with strong self-awareness can recognise when they are feeling happy, sad, angry, frustrated, or scared.
  • Managing Emotions: Once children are aware of their emotions, they need to learn how to manage them in a healthy way. This includes learning to calm down when upset, express themselves appropriately, and cope with difficult situations.
  • Social Awareness: This refers to the ability to understand the emotions of others. Children with strong social awareness can pick up on nonverbal cues like facial expressions and body language, and can empathise with others’ feelings.

Why is EQ So Important?

Strong emotional intelligence benefits children in many ways:

  • Improved Social Skills: Children with high EQ are better at making and keeping friends, they communicate effectively, and they can navigate social situations with confidence.
  • Academic Success:Children who understand and manage their emotions tend to focus better in school, handle setbacks more easily, and are more motivated to learn.
  • Positive Mental Health: High EQ can help children cope with stress and anxiety, and develop a positive outlook on life.
  • Stronger Relationships: Children with good emotional intelligence build stronger bonds with family, friends, and teachers.
Developing emotional intelligence is an ongoing process.  By working together, we can help your child grow into an emotionally well-rounded individual.
