Fostering emotional intelligence in children prepares them for future relationships by teaching healthy emotion management and open communication.

Deep dives

Love as an Addiction

Falling in love can be equated to a form of addiction, with emotional withdrawal resembling the physical withdrawal experienced by substance addicts. The intense feelings during the infatuation stage can lead to dependency on the partner, which results in profound emotional pain when the relationship ends. Unlike substance abuse, people often lack resources and support for dealing with heartbreak, leaving them to navigate their suffering alone. This emotional addiction illustrates how our brains process love in a way similar to that of physical pleasure, making recovery from a romantic breakup significantly challenging.
