Understanding Emotional Intelligence
Emotional intelligence is defined as the ability to understand, recognize, and use emotions wisely. This encompasses both self-awareness regarding one's own emotions and awareness of the feelings of others in social contexts. Many children, particularly those with neurodivergent traits, may struggle with this incongruence between their cognitive and emotional development, leading to difficulties in social situations. For instance, a child might be completely unaware of bullying due to an inability to process social cues, emphasizing the need for parents to help cultivate emotional awareness.
