Emotional Intelligence

You cannot give what you do not possess. Before adults can consistently raise emotionally stable children, they must examine their own emotional capacity. Emotional intelligence begins with the adult who is shaping the child.

Generation Next may have more information, technology and opportunity than previous generations while still struggling with anxiety, identity confusion, emotional fragility and difficulty tolerating frustration. The digital age has connected devices without always strengthening emotional connection.
