How To Raise a Child with a High IQ

The practical companion for parents to Daniel Goleman''s Emotional Intelligence, by a psychologyist who has been developing a program for raising children''s -emotional quotients'' for more than twenty years. Daniel Goleman''s phenomenal bestseller Emotional Intelligence introduced the world to the ideas behind EQ, teaching us that people with well-developed emotional skills are more likely to succeed than those with intellect alone. Now,How To Raise A Child With A High EQ demonstrates what every parent wants to know: how to apply these theories to child rearing.aWe''re not born with a set level of emotional intelligence. Shy or difficult children often just need help learning social strategies to help them through the school years and into adulthood. We know to teach them reading or math, but kids also need help learning to endure embarrassment, handle family problems, and fight fair. And the skills they learn now will help them grow up into happy, responsible, independent, productive adults.aParenting is complicated, but parenting books shouldn''t be. Dr. Shapiro provides parents easy-to-follow checklists, development charts, do''s and don''t''s, games, activities, and a list of resources. This books also contains actual scripts and cartoons to provide parents with -scenarios'' to enact with their children.
