Beyond Temperament: Parenting the Emotions

If we want our children to be successful in life, then we have to school them in the emotions. This is Daniel Goleman’s running thesis in Emotional Intelligence: Why it can matter more than IQ, a pioneering book that helped bring emotional intelligence into homes and classrooms. Drawing on brain and behavioural research, Goleman’s primary purpose is to explain that education and IQ alone don’t determine positive life outcomes. Rather healthy self-awareness, self-discipline, and empathy help a person stay afloat in life.
