Emotional Smarts: What's the secret to raising confident, happy kids? It starts with emotional intelligence.

Emotions matter: they influence our decision-making and color our relationships. Research shows that children who develop emotional intelligence skills are kinder, happier, healthier, and more successful.

In partnership with the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence, GreatSchools is proud to present Emotional Smarts, a collection of articles, videos, and activities to help your child develop emotional intelligence, build character, and cultivate valuable life skills.

Build independence, resilience, confidence, gratitude, courage, empathy, and grit in your child with #EmotionalSmarts.
