Are you sometimes overwhelmed by your child’s feelings? 
Does your child have trouble verbalizing their emotions? 
Do their displays of emotion seem like misbehavior to you? 

A better relationship with your child starts with emotional intelligence. Emotional intelligence increases your child’s self-worth and cooperation, improves communication, and strengthens the parent-child connection. Strong emotional intelligence decreases family conflict and will impact all of your child’s future relationships. Join Peace at Home Parenting Solutions expert Cora Megan D’Alessandro, M.A., to learn how to strengthen your young child’s emotional intelligence.

After this workshop, you will be able to:

  • Respond to your child’s feelings in ways that strengthen emotional intelligence 
  • Apply strategies that help your child manage their emotions
  • Identify ways to teach your child problem-solving skills
  • Express your emotions in ways that help your child respond positively
  • Apply communication skills that increase peace at home
