Books like Raising an emotionally intelligent child by John Mordechai Gottman


Raising an Emotionally Intelligent Child offers parents a clear, research‑based framework for cultivating emotional intelligence in children of all ages. Drawing on Dr. John Gottman’s work, the book outlines a five‑step "emotion coaching" process that teaches parents to be attuned to their child’s emotions, view emotional expression as a teaching moment, listen empathetically, label feelings in child‑appropriate language, and guide children toward effective problem‑solving. By mastering these skills, children develop self‑confidence, better academic performance, stronger health, and richer social connections, while parents deepen their bond with their children.
