How emotional intelligence is necessary for children's growth

Emotional Intelligence is the ability to sense emotion, empathize with others, and cope with feelings and impulses. It is sometimes even more important than developing children's cognitive intelligence. Children are just as prone to intense emotion as adults and it is important to equip them with the tools to cope with these feelings. Those with high emotional quotient are able to maintain their emotional and physical well-being in adulthood, propensity for success, and better quality of life. Watch Ms. Anuradha Sharma, principal of Ryan International School, Vasant Kunj, talk about the important role that emotional intelligence plays in the growth and development of a child's life.
