From Chaos to Connection: How parenting with emotional intelligence raises kind, confident, resilient kids.
From Chaos to Connection is a practical, compassionate, thought-provoking call to action for parents. It’s time to let go of the old, outdated lessons we’ve learned about raising our children and dealing with their emotions and behaviour, and embrace the new paradigm.
Emotional intelligence is now recognised by experts and educators across the world as a non-negotiable set of skills for a successful life, no matter our age or lifestyle. Emotionally intelligent kids are more confident, empathetic, and resilient. They also know how to handle big emotions such as anger, frustration, fear and anxiety - without constantly blowing up or melting down. The research is clear, parenting with emotional intelligence is the way forward.
In her ground-breaking book, Stephanie describes candid stories of her own family as well as the clients she works with. She actively throws out the unhelpful and even damaging lessons we’ve learned about emotions, such as that they are silly, childish, embarrassing and a sign of weakness. The emotionally intelligent way of parenting discards the outdated methods with which many of us were raised (bribes, threats and punishments) and replaces them with kindness, empathy and compassionate discipline.
Stephanie offers a fresh approach to parenting that shows how an understanding of emotions, child development and the neuroscience of behaviour enables parents to ‘crack the code’ of joyful parenting. Put simply, emotionally intelligent parenting invites a lot less drama and a lot more love into the home.
With a handle on child development and a deeper understanding of emotions, parents quickly become able to connect with their children and gain their cooperation more smoothly. Get ready for compassionate nudges, pearls of wisdom, and practical strategies that will help you create your own roadmap for raising emotionally intelligent kids.
