I was conditioned from a young age to firmly believe that I would never be enough of anything to attain the unconditional love I craved so deeply from my bipolar, narcissistic mother and the safety and protection I craved from my loving but terrified father.

Emotional intelligence is the ability to understand one's own emotions, as well as the emotions of others. Emotional intelligence (or "EI") is used on a daily basis to comprehend and label different emotions appropriately, and to behave in ways that reflect the emotions of themselves and the people around them. It is extremely important in the development of children; they must understand emotional responses and behavior around them to not only comprehend the situations they are within, but to fully develop as well-rounded adults.

When we talk about emotional intelligence we are actually referring to the development of the person. This topic has been on the rise for a few decades and it has proven to be useful not only on a personal level but also in the workplace. Research on the benefits of a proper development of emotional intelligence is on the increase, advising on the training of it as early as possible. Therefore, school is the most suitable environment for young children and even adolescents to get to know and to develop emotional intelligence.
