I am a parent and also a therapist who works with children. I found this to be a good resource that I can share with parents so that they have specific steps when working with their children.

I can't help but think coping skills are a massive part of who we are as adults. If you have good, healthy coping skills through childhood, your perception will be more clear and steady. As an adult, I know it is difficult to intentionally teach children to have emotional intelligence and to develop good coping skills. This was such a solid, helpful read for me. I learned a lot to apply to myself and my children.

This was needed as a parent. I've been working with my son on emotional regulation and helping to express emotions. I'm a therapist and will utilize the information learned from this book. This is an insightful book to help parents navigate their little ones with not only helpful 'how' but also the 'why' of child development. In an ever-shifting world, this book is also a wonderful reminder to parents of taking time to reframe their own viewpoints, helping both adults and children alike.

I wish I had access to this book and information when I had my child. Very informative and would recommend to all parents raising emotionally intelligent children. Thanks NetGalley!

A well-researched and anecdotally-rich text that is a valuable read not only to parents of young children, but those who work with that age group (toddler-early elementary grades). Lists, graphics, and flow charts help the reader learn about how children learn to perceive the world and how to help them be better socially acclimated through Theory of Mind. A focus on language early on in the text introduces ways to introduce vocabulary to build emotional intelligence early on in a child's development. The value of play, inquiry, and puppet play is also discussed and examples given of how it can be implemented to help young children acquire skills that can build empathy and foster kindness. A great reference that I plan to keep handy in my school setting and a valuable read for any teacher of younger grades.

The Emotionally Intelligent Child will be a book I recommend to every parent, especially those who are pre-k age to elementary school. As a parent, I want to meet my child's needs and provide the right guidance for her development. But I often ask myself - what do I do with this behavior in my four year old, so that she can grow into her passionate personality as an advantage?

"See your child's actions through the lens of their development and pausing to respond to their needs intentionally versus impulsively."

This statement at the beginning of the book inspired me to read more, so I can be better equipped to help set my child up for success. This is also a great reflection for me. Many times, it's easier to react impulsively to my child's perplexing and frustrating behavior. I want to help my daughter with her emotional self-control, decision making and self-awareness, and this book will be a tremendous resource for me.

I felt like the authors were speaking directly to me, and I could relate to the experiences, beliefs and challenges in their research. They relate child psychology in a way that's easy for a layperson to understand and apply.

Every parent should read this book, take notes, and read it again. It will help you better talk to your child and set them up for success as emotionally intelligent humans.

I liked that this book was laid out in a thoughtful, easy to read way. Very informative and gave specific steps to help foster your child's emotional intelligence. As a new parent, I am looking for as much information as I can get to help be the best parent I can be.

Thank you #netgalley for the ARC!

The Emotionally Intelligent Child was a great read to help further my understanding of my children’s development. I try to read parenting and developmental books as often as possible and I am especially interested in emotional intelligence, so I am grateful for the opportunity to have read this in advance!

I thought that this book was laid out well, it was easily understandable and had various ways of presenting the information, such as illustrations, examples, and longer written explanations. You could read it front to back, but it was also easy to navigate if you were looking for something specific.

I usually tend to listen to parenting information on audio because it can be dry but I didn’t find that to be the case here. I will be buying a copy for my shelves so I can refer to it as my children grow.

This book is out in June 2022, and I will definitely be grabbing a copy for my shelves so I can refer back to it as my children grow.

Thank you NetGalley and New Harbinger Publications, Inc., for the free, electronic ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Very informative and gives a different perspective on parenting andI really liked it. I recomended to anyone who would like to get a differnet perspective on peranting and to learn how a child behaves and why.

This is a great guide for parents of children from infants to school aged. It's informative and gives specific steps to foster emotional intelligence in your children (and yourself!).
