There is a growing demand for teens and students alike to develop a stronger, more understanding relationship with the emotions of themselves and others, and how those emotions relate to the world around us. Emotional Intelligence plays a positive role in helping students deal with stress, develop relationships, and handle the transitions facing them.
Research shows that when students are in an environment where they and their peers have developed emotional intelligence, they see higher levels of engagement, have better classroom leadership and organization, experience less bullying, manage test anxiety better, have higher academic achievement, foster creativity and build stronger interpersonal relationships. Emotional intelligence should be infused in all areas of their lives.
One of the key roles of Emotional Intelligence is shaping how we respond to challenges. For the teens and students who take up this program, these skillsets can help them navigate their way around obstacles and toward success. It allows them to size up situations, put them in perspective and come up with better ways to work through them.
