Episode 84 Embracing Emotional Intelligence to Encourage Resilience in your Children

In this episode with emotional intelligence expert Steph Pinto; we navigate the complex landscape of emotional intelligence in parenting, where balancing emotional awareness with resilience becomes key.

Steph Pinto has a background paediatric speech pathology, and is now a leading coach and consultant in emotional intelligence. Through her compelling stories, Steph reveals the profound impact of understanding both our own emotions and those of others.

We discuss Steph's own experience of overcoming anxiety, both Steph and Fiona share how individually they had to learn a better way to manage their own emotions and relationships in adulthood. This helps to illustrate the power of emotional intelligence in building stronger personal relationships and enhancing parenting skills.

This is not about creating overly emotional children who think the world revolves around them! We emphasise the importance of acknowledging children's emotions without allowing them to dominate every decision, advocating for a modern approach to parenting that shuns outdated methods of emotional suppression while still including healthy things like boundaries.

Join us for this enlightening conversation that challenges traditional norms and acknowledges where some modern parenting ideas have gone too far, finding a balance, and ultimately championing the necessity of emotional intelligence for personal growth and effective parenting.
