Today was our second session of a new parenting series. In this session we explored the concept of emotional intelligence and the idea of banking in a positive way into our children’s emotional bank account.
We learnt how we can deposit or make a withdrawal with our actions and words. A great book to support this understanding in young children is bucket filling or for older children the idea of the emotional bank account is shared in this blog post. A post-it note response unpacking these ideas was used and the images below illustrate the parent responses.
The team shared some actions that we can take to respond to growing our children’s emotional intelligence as well as our own ways of dealing with challenge, disappointment and mistakes.
