Emotional Intelligence Inventory

Are you ready to shift how you handle challenging moments with your child?

As parents, our children serve as mirrors, prompting us to examine our relationship with emotions. Do we embrace anger and conflict or shy away from it? Does fear trigger anxiety and control? These questions aren't about right or wrong answers; they're invitations to introspection.

Awareness of our responses grants us the power of choice – the ability to consciously engage with our children's emotions.

Picture this: Your child's behavior triggers your frustration or anger. Instead of reacting impulsively, you turn to your inventory. You jot down your initial reaction and then reflect on why you responded that way. This simple act of awareness empowers you to identify patterns and areas for growth, which is a game-changer. Why? Because it empowers you to navigate future breakdowns with clarity and grace (rather than reactivity and guilt).

Through its structured approach, the inventory teaches you the invaluable skill of emotional intelligence. You will learn how to:

Label your emotion
Tolerate the emotion
Recuperate from the emotion

Designed with leading questions, this inventory is your companion in navigating the labyrinth of your emotions. It guides you to explore your emotional landscape, understand how you learned to manage emotions, and intentionally choose the values you wish to impart to your children. Invest in your journey toward mindful connection and emotional resilience today.
