Psychologist Gary Goleman, one of the first people to raise awareness of EQ, is the author of Emotional Intelligence, a groundbreaking book that came out in 1995. Since its release, study after study has proven EQ’s importance: that emotional intelligence predicts future success in relationships, health and quality of life. It’s been shown that children with high EQs earn better grades, stay in school longer and make healthier choices overall (for example, they are less likely to smoke); teachers also report that high-EQ students are more co-operative and make better leaders in the classroom. There’s also a relationship between emotional intelligence and bullying, with EQ education initiatives seen as a way to help prevent it. What’s more, having a high emotional intelligence is a greater predictor of career success than having a high IQ, which means it’s valued by employers looking for candidates who can complete work and get along with people in progressively collaborative workplaces.

Children need balance in their lives too. Whilst we concern ourselves with them not being at school, please be guided by the usual stress we inadvertently place on them with our expectations. Help them find balance in the variety of activities they engage in. They can most times find their balance. Its natural.

A different chirp in the morning steered me to remember the newness of each day and the opportunity that there is to continue the purpose, whatever the circumstances. I have the responsibility to respond to my environment in the way I see best for me. Have a great day creating new with good purpose.
