As COTAs, one of the things we’ve worked on with a lot of our clients is emotional intelligence - the ability to identify one’s emotions (and emotions in others). This is oftentimes VERY difficult for children! But emotional intelligence is a vital piece of the puzzle when it comes to self-regulation and social interactions.

Today we talk all about the WHY and the HOW, plus we give you our favorite ways to improve emotional intelligence in your child(ren), your clients, or your students!

Be sure to check out the show notes on our blog at Harkla.Co/Podcast.
