The first step to improve your EQ is to begin to pay attention to your own emotions. Once you are aware of your emotional state, you can then try to manage it, or find ways to change it to achieve desired outcome. You may also try the following:
1. Learn about common senses and street smarts from people around you
2. Experiment, review feedback, modify
3. Take an EQ assessment to identify specific area for improvement
4. Participate in soft skills training or hire a coach
To help your kids to improve their EQ, you need to first be able to noitce and understand their emotions, what cause them and what behaviours those emotions may lead to.
Talk to your kids and ask them to tell you how they feel. Begin with small emotional moments, such as frustration because of not being able to find a book or toy, or excitement of winning a computer game. The purpose is to establish a communication channel and a habit of being able to talk about their feelings. Then, use what you have learned to manage and improve your EQ to guide them to improve theirs. |
