Raising an Emotionally Intelligent Child Paperback – 24 Aug. 1998

Another triumph from John Gottman! I've given this to every expectant mum I know... but it also relates to how to coach people and validate an adults feelings as well. It's a beautiful book and definitely a life changer. Read his other books including "baby makes three" as well!

this has fundamentally changed and improved the relationship my partner and i have with our child. the ideas have helped us connect to him and overcome challenging behavior so that instead of punishing him we take his challenges as opportunities to understand him better. amazing!

Lovethis book, I have started working on this a lot, and can feel a difference already... however do not expect thisto be easy. It requires a lot of hard work on yourself first!

This book helped me look honestly at my behaviour in handling my children's feelings and gave good examples in separating behaviour from feelings when managing children's issues and concerns. Takes you through the good practice in raising emotionally intelligent children in real life situations. Only detractors would be stereotypical in parts and Americanised language, neither of which really affected the impact of the book. A good read and a book I will keep referring back to.

Anyone raising or working with children should read this.

Highly recommended! I told family, many friends and work colleagues about it. I wish I had read it earlier

Very interesting read - will certainly help you reflect

Highly recommend this book. I live by this book while Raising my son....can not recommend enough
