We know that IQ is needed for our kids to get into good schools, get good jobs, earn good money and lead good lives in future.
Do you know that there is one other factor which is as important – if not, MORE important – than IQ in determining your child’s success?
This factor is EQ – or emotional intelligence.
I don’t wish to bore you with details of how a high EQ equates to success (that will be for another blog post at another time).
Suffice to say that a healthy EQ will lead to
- better relationships
- better decision-making
- better conflict-handling
which brings
- better opportunities
- the best of careers
- the best of friends
and much, much more.
We’ll start with the basics.
Having the 5 EQ traits in the infographic below can predict your child’s success – even more than a high IQ (according to renowned researcher Daniel Goleman).
Unlike IQ, we can up our EQ levels through learning and experience.
And that’s good news for us!
