Did you know that emotional intelligence (EQ) may be a better predictor of academic and career success than IQ?

Discover why developing emotional intelligence is important

“After the program I am empathetic, more patient. When there’s an issue I’ve got into the habit of pausing and attempt to understand the emotional state my child is in.”

~ Min, parent

“I ask a lot more about what my children’s emotions are and listen with empathy and understanding more, before trying to fix the problem, if at all. This works much better to calm them down than just trying to fix it anyway!”

~ Steve, parent
