I made an Emotional Intelligence course for kids!

Do you know a kid whose emotions get out of control? Tantrums, fears, stress – little kids can have big emotions. And it’s common for children to have trouble managing emotions. They often need help learning the basic skills for what we now call “emotional intelligence.” I’m excited to announce that I’ve partnered with Critikid to make an online course that helps children 5 and up with their socioemotional development.

The course is based on my CBT therapy workbooks and uses an evidence based approach that is grounded in the research. It is also rooted in my decades of experience teaching young children about their emotions and how to feel better. In this course kids will learn:

• The names for their feelings
• The difference between thinking, feeling, and doing
• How to assess their feelings using a feelings thermometer
• And coping skills that are easy for kids of all ages

All of these are taught to children with a cute emoji named “Pixel” who is your child’s guide. Perfect for kids who love to learn on a computer, this course is a perfect way to give young children a boost in their emotional intelligence.
