First of all, You may be thinking, what is emotional intelligence? Emotional intelligence = creative thinking, self-control, leadership qualities and social skills. I know that I struggle at times with teaching my child these skills in a way where I am not constantly preaching to them about what to do and not do in certain situations. That is why I am excited about the new game a freind has created to help our kiddos learn these valuable life skills in a fun way. After 3 years of research, Sofia has launched EQtainment on Kickstarter. She has already raised capital and is in talks with Walmart and Target for distribution, so there is no pressure for anyone to purchase anything or invest…we just want as many influential moms to help spread the word during the 30 day rollout on Kickstarter. Please share this with your circle of friends and help spread the word about this new wonderful tool. I am very excited for her! Help your kids raise their EQ along with me.
