Parenting
If you’re a parent, you’d be remiss to not learn the basic scientific findings concerning the power of “emotional coaching” of children. I’m currently reading two books on how to become a trusted ally and emotional coach to your son/daughter:
- Linda Lantieri’s Building Emotional Intelligence
- John Gottman’s Raising An Emotionally Intelligent Child: The Heart of Parenting
Millions of very well-intentioned parents unwittingly use harmful parenting techniques. These books describe the common mistakes misguided parents make and the techniques proven to help your children trust their emotions and act responsibly based on those emotions.
