Schools evaluate our children every day.
Parents evaluate children as well.
Teachers give tests to determine if the student has learned the subject.
We use bathroom scales to evaluate weight.
We look at report cards to ensure they are progressing academically.
If kids are playing a sport, they have to attend the “try-out”, to be evaluated to ensure the teams are picked fairly.
We do this “evaluating” out of love. Care. Concern.
We want to make sure our children are growing up, learning and maturing on track with their age group.
Yet, our schools don’t have a structured process to teach EQ skills (emotional intelligence) or emotional maturity...or evaluate it.
They should.
Wouldn’t it be amazing if our schools regularly taught our children EQ topics like:
-Conflict Communication When You Are Angry
-Hos To Cope WIth Hard Days
-How to Calm Yourself Down and Have Self-Care
-How To Manage Anger, Stress and Anxiety
-How To Balance Screens With Diet and Exercise and Outdoor Activity
-How to Stand Up for Yourself in a Healthy Way
-How to Have Healthy Thinking and Self-Esteem
-How to Have Grit and Resilience During Tough Times
Let's hope that one day schools have provide these classes to our kids.
Until then...
Our team of Teen Coaches here at Parenting Modern Teens teach teenagers these EQ skills every day.
This is important work.
We have a powerful process that teaches tweens, teens and 20's high level EQ skills...
and we coach them on how to apply their new tools to their everyday lives and everyday struggles.
Exciting News: We have discovered how to teach and evaluate a teen’s emotional maturity.
We developed a series of EQ assessments and activities that help us to determine where a young person is compared to others their age, and even pin-point the specific areas that a teenager is strong or weak in.
I hope that one day EQ skills are taught in every public school (for free) and that EQ evaluations are given to every parent.
For now, EQ teaching and evaluation is a private service - and we are one of the only firms in the world to offer it to teens.
If you would like us to teach your teenager EQ skills, or, if you would like us to evaluate your teen’s EQ maturity, please contact us and ask.
We would be happy to support your family.
We have determined that emotionally mature teenagers practice these life-skills:
