One of the keys to success in life is how you treat and talk to other people. If you are a person who can read others emotions and know what they are feeling, you will go far in life. The same is true for your child.
There are some people that are just gifted in this area and there are some of us who have to work in this area. If you have to work at reading people, you can get better at it by practicing. If you help your child learn how to read other people's emotions, your child will have a very important tool they need to be successful.
This video is part of a series on how to teach children about different emotions. We are reviewing a children's book named Patty Cat by Barbara deRubertis. This book is widely available. It is well written it covers several emotions and there are two key elements of Emotional Intelligence you can discuss with your child; how to treat others and how to problem solve.
Take some time today to study someone's emotions with your child. You can observe people in a park, a mall or a coffee shop.
- Do they look happy or sad?
- How can you tell by their face?
- How can you tell by their body language?
Make it fun. Make up stories about the person and what is happening in their life. This will increase their creativity. You can start the story and your child adds a part then you add something etc.
Let me know how it went. If you can help your child to learn how to read other people's emotions it will be one of the greatest gifts you can give them.
