Mark T Coleman PhD's book on Emotional Intelligence for Kids is a great example of how we should raise children to learning coping skills, use their critical thinking, and be able to communicate effectively. The assessment is a great tool to show where you are on the Emotional Intelligence scale as a parent and as an individual. He provides key steps into your response as a parent of all ages to learn skills to traverse through life. It will also help you as a parent to understand where you can make changes to build a trusting relationship with your child. I highly recommend this book to everyone that is struggling as a parent or as an individual.

This book simply says:
1. You cant have a kid who's emotionally intelligent if your EQ is low

2. Consider Emotions Coaching approach while raising your kids

3.Always accept feelings, all feeling are good to be felt, and let your child express it in a way that doesn't harm anyone.

4. Guide the child to the right way to express feelings

It is a light book and easy to understand, yet is not that deep.

Could have been an essay. Very little how-to information in here. The concept is good, and there is nothing I disagree with, but most of it is repetitious and very surface-level.
