"It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men."

-Frederick Douglass

Why EQ and YOU?

In the first five years of life, children begin to understand who they are, what they are feeling and what to expect when interacting with others. This helps them develop their “Sense of Self” & the understanding of “Relationships and Others”. This forms the foundation for the type of adult they will grow up to be. Therefore, having the right exposure, awareness of self and others is crucial during these formative years.

Research states that socially and emotionally equipped children are productive, cooperative and show signs of being better leaders. In fact it is a well-known fact today that EQ is more indicative of future professional success than IQ. Daniel Goleman (American Psychologist) states that children with higher EQ earn better grades, stay in school longer and make healthier choices in life, thus bullying, disciplinary problems, violence and drug abuse are reduced in such children.

What is EQ and YOU?

“EQ and You - The ABC’s of a Happy Child” is a program developed at MindSpeak, based on the Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) program, principles of Play Therapy and Mindfulness. Our classes span over a month and take place once a week.

The SEL model is defined as “the process through which students gain and effectively apply the knowledge, attitude and skills necessary to understand and manage emotions, set and achieve positive goals, feel and express empathy for others, develop and maintain positive relationships, and make responsible decisions”, thereby enhancing a child’s EQ (Emotional Intelligence).


Through our 1-hour weekly classes we will be working towards developing your child’s EQ by creating:

  • Awareness: Regarding emotions the child experiences in everyday scenarios

  • Behaviour: Helping them understand the behavior that follows the emotional experience

  • Change: Helping them make a change in the way they process, express and deal with their emotions.

​

Additionally, we aim to increase emotional understanding and interaction between the child and parent. Parents will be playing an active role during the program, because they will be provided with self-reflective materials that can be practiced at home. At the end of the program a brief reflective (non diagnostic) report of the child will be shared indicating what the child has learnt and the areas that need further development (based on the observations made in class and the information received from the non-diagnostic assessment forms that the child's parents fill in).

Emotions & Behaviours

It is important to remember that no child is bad; it is only behaviours that are challenging. Therefore equipping our children with the right emotional vocabulary and right coping strategies is crucial in helping them develop into whole rounded individuals.
