So much of our focus with children in school is based on their academic capabilities. Do they know enough? Do they have the thinking skills to succeed? How high is their IQ (Intelligence Quotient)?

While these are important questions, there are other questions we need to make sure we can answer in the affirmative as well. Are these children self-aware? Do they make wise decisions despite pressure to conform? Do they communicate well with others? Do they have strong conflict resolution skills? How high is their EQ (Emotional Quotient)? In other words, do these students have high Emotional Intelligence (EQ) skills?

It is the development of children's Emotional Intelligence that is the work of EQ4KIDS™. EQ4KIDS™ is dedicated to teaching children the necessary life-skills they need to live fuller, happier lives.
