What Will You Learn?

Why Emotional Intelligence Matters

Emotional intelligence is a key factor in a child’s ability to navigate challenges at school, make and keep friends, and maintain good mental health. Research shows that children who develop emotional intelligence have better concentration, are more successful in their academic and social lives, and have fewer behaviour issues. Supporting your child in developing emotional intelligence will give them the tools they need to succeed in life.
