Using Emotional Intelligence to Improve Self-Control and Self-Discipline
Have you ever yelled at your child to stop yelling at his sister? In his book, Emotionally Intelligent Parenting, author Dr.Maurice Elias offers a new Golden Rule: Do unto your children as you would have other people do unto your children. And, most important, he shows us how to live by it. Family is our children’s first school for emotional learning, where they learn how to feel about themselves; how others react to their feelings; how to think about these feelings andwhat choices they have in reacting.
* Use strategies that allow them to deal with their feelings in positive ways.
* Display the self-control they need to effectively communicate with others.
* Respond to social situations in more thoughtful and responsible ways.
Dr. Maurice Elias devotes his research and writing to the area of emotional intelligence in children, families, and schools. He is the author of many books and articles and is a Professorof Psychology at Rutgers University, Co-Founder of the Consortium on the School-Based Promotion of Social Competence, and serves on the Leadership Team of the Collaborative for the Advancement of Social and Emotional Learning.
