Part IV: Using Emotional Intelligence at Home

IV.1. In this part ...

Emotional intelligence can help you with your closest or most intimate relationships, including your relationship with your spouse, partner, or best friend. You confide in or bond with these people more intensely than with anyone else. Maintaining and nurturing these relationships often requires conscious effort. I provide you with steps and tools to build and enhance these relationships.

I also discuss the importance of being an emotionally intelligent parent. This part deals with ways that you can improve your self-control, even when your child or teenager seems to get out of hand. Additionally, I offer suggestions and examples that might help your child become more emotionally intelligent.
