What is Emotional Intelligence and Why Does It Matter?
Emotional Intelligence is the art of understanding and processing emotions.
It matters because:
-
- 1 in 5 children experiencing mental health issues, and only 20% receiving supportive care
- Large-scale studies link unprocessed emotions to illness and chronic health conditions, making it even more critical for children to also help prevent physical dis-ease.
- According to the WHO half of mental health conditions start by the age of 14, most undetected and untreated. Additionally, 20% of teens have seriously considered suicide, making strong habits that will help during the trying adolescent years more important than ever.
- As a collective, we are currently undergoing a mutation of the Solar Plexus. The new paradigm will embrace the wisdom of the Solar Plexus. Learning to respect and harness this powerful energy will be one of the keys to our future as a society.
How to Teach Emotional Intelligence Step by Step
Today, I have a special guest on my podcast, Jess Bubbico. She is a 4/6 Emotional Manifestor. She initiated an appearance on the show to talk about how to develop and teach Emotional Intelligence within ourselves and with the children in our lives. One of the amazing tools she shared was her children’s book, “Jessi Lou & The Magic of You!” – an adorable asset that parents and educators can use to begin the conversation about the emotional wave.
As we discuss in the show, experiencing an emotional wave as a child is really powerful and can be kind of scary. And frankly, parents and other adults can experience the emotional wave as unnerving as well.
During this two-part episode, we discuss the emotional wave from both the perspective of the person with a Defined Solar Plexus, as well as from the perspective of the person with an Undefined Solar Plexus.
Jess Bubbico (4/6 Emotional Manifestor, RAX Vessel of Love) is a Human Design/Gene Keys guide and former pediatric speech pathologist. Jess is the author of “Jessi Lou & The Magic of You!” (available on Amazon), a beautifully illustrated, Human Design-inspired storybook to help caregivers and children learn how to accept and lovingly work through big emotions (whether defined or undefined) while spending quality time together reading a captivating story.
