What is emotional intelligence? Emotional intelligence is the ability to recognize, manage, and use one’s emotions in positive and constructive ways. It’s also about recognizing the emotional states of others and engaging them in ways that create mutual safety, trust, and confidence.
Emotional intelligence (EQ) vs. Intellectual intelligence (IQ) Research shows that intellectual intelligence (IQ) has less to do with success in life than emotional intelligence (EQ). We all know people who are academically brilliant and yet are socially incompetent and unsuccessful. What they are missing is emotional intelligence.
Howard Gardner, Ph.D. • Harvard University professor and the author of many books and articles. • His theory of multiple intelligences has challenged long-held assumptions about intelligence -- especially about a single measure of intelligence.
Emotional intelligence is linked to: Self-esteem-how one feels about self Self-awareness-understanding of oneself Empathy-understanding another’s feelings Compassion-awareness of another’s distress & desire to alleviate the problem Adaptability-ability to adjust oneself to new or changed circumstances
Emotional intelligence helps you: • communicate clearly • lead others • build strong relationships at work and in your personal life • stay motivated • solve problems • achieve your goals

Howard Gardner's Eight Intelligences • Verbal-linguistic intelligenceability to analyze information and produce work using oral and written language, such as speeches, books, and memos • Logical-mathematical intelligenceability to develop equations and proofs, make calculations, and solve abstract problems • Visual-spatial intelligenceability to use maps and other types of graphical information • Musical intelligenceability to produce and make meaning of different types of sound
Naturalistic intelligenceability to identify and distinguish among different types of plants, animals, and weather formations found in the natural world • Bodily-kinesthetic intelligenceability to use one's own body to create products or solve problems • Interpersonal intelligenceability to recognize and understand other people's moods, desires, motivations, and intentions • Intrapersonal intelligenceability to recognize and assess those same characteristics within themselves
VERBAL-linguistic LEARNERS • Have strong listening skills, enjoy reading and writing, like to play word games, tell stories, get their point across and have a good memory for names, dates, and places. • They learn best by saying and hearing words. • Poets, writers, and people who speak a great deal in their jobs (like teachers) probably have a high degree of verbal-linguistic intelligence.
LOGICAL-MATHEMATICAL LEARNERS “Scientific thinkers” like to explore patterns and relationships, experiment with things not easily understood, ask questions, and like structure. They like to work with numbers and relish opportunities to solve problems by logical reasoning. They learn best by classifying information, using abstract thought, and looking for common basic principles and patterns. Many scientists have a high degree of logical-mathematical intelligence.
VISUAL-SPATIAL LEARNERS Work well with maps, charts, diagrams, and visual arts in general. They are able to visualize clear mental images. They like to design and create things. They learn best by looking at pictures and watching videos. Sculptors, painters, architects, surgeons, and engineers are a few professions that require people with well-developed visual-spatial abilities. .
MUSICAL LEARNERS Are sensitive to sounds, enjoy music, and may listen to music when they study or read. They learn best through the use of melody and music. Anyone who enjoys, understands, and uses various elements of music probably has a high degree of musical-rhythmic intelligence such as singers, conductors, and composers .
Naturalist LEARNERS Enjoy nature: the outdoors, geography, animals, conservation, etc. They sense patterns and are good at categorization. They are also good planners and organizers of living areas. They learn best studying natural phenomenon in natural settings, learning about how things work. They may express interest in biology, zoology, botany, geology, meteorology, paleontology, or astronomy - fields directly connected to some aspect of nature.
BODILY-KINESTHETIC LEARNERS Use their bodies to gather information. They have a good sense of balance and coordination and are good with their hands. They learn best using physical activities and hands-on learning experiences. People with highly developed bodily-kinesthetic abilities include carpenters, mechanics, dancers, gymnasts, swimmers, and jugglers.
INTERPERSONAL LEARNERS “People-Persons" They enjoy being around people, like talking to people, have many friends, and engage in many social activities. They can develop genuine empathy for others. They learn best by relating, sharing, and participating in cooperative group environments. The best salespeople, consultants, community organizers, counselors, and teachers have a high interpersonal intelligence.
INTRAPERSONAL LEARNERS Are very self-aware of their strengths, weaknesses, and feelings. They are creative, independent, determined, self-confident, and very motivated. They are deep thinkers. They may have strong opinions when topics are discussed. They learn best by working on independent study projects rather than working on group projects. Entrepreneurs, philosophers, and psychologists are a few professions where strong intrapersonal skills are a benefit.
Summary • We can help our children to maximize their potential by helping them to become aware of their natural intelligences and then providing opportunities for them to develop these abilities to the fullest potential. • http://casel.org/sel/families.php#ten • http://life.familyeducation.com/communication/parenting/29547.html • http://www.familyeducation.com/topic/front/0,1156,1-12410,00.html
