## Resource

Emotional intelligence is often called EQ. Some might say it’s a soft skill, but in fact research shows it’s central to lifelong resilience and wellbeing. Building EQ takes years and years––adults are still working on it too!––but starting young, kids can develop self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, and decision making abilities. This episode digs into all the ways to support kids' development of emotional intelligence and why it matters so much. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
