Many professionals consider emotional intelligence (EQ) as one of the most critical factors for future job success. Most jobs require us to work with others, understand other viewpoints, have self-awareness when it comes to our performance strengths & weakness, self-regulation to control our reactions in difficult situations or when working with difficult people, & the ability to make informed decisions, accept, & learn from the outcomes of our choices. These skills begin to develop in early childhood and fully develop in our early 20s. As an occupational therapist, I consciously work in EQ skill-building activities with the children I work with and my children through everyday experiences. How can we, as parents, support our children in developing EQ?
