Confident parents, confident children

Confident Parents, Confident Kids offers an approach to helping parents—and their loving children—honed their emotional intelligence so they could make wise decisions, communicate and relate well to others (even with impatience), and become socially aware and confident individuals. How do we raise a happy, confident child? How can we trust that our parenting sets them up for success? Our confidence develops by understanding and managing our own emotions (i.e., emotional intelligence) and helping our children do the same. Just as in learning to play an instrument, we can improve our ability to skillfully navigate the crazy, wonderful, and big emotions that arise spontaneously as our child grows and changes from chaos to harmony. We want our children to have the confidence that they can overcome any challenge with hard work and perseverance; that they are capable of loving without limits; that they will find their unique purpose; and that they will navigate a complex world wisely. This book shows you how.
