How to raise an emotionally intelligent child?

Making your child emotionally intelligent is as important as having a child with a high IQ. An emotionally intelligent child knows how to respond in stressful situations. When a child learns to be aware of his own emotions from a very early age, he tends to be more upfront and communicative in his future relationships. Emotionally intelligent children also learn how to handle negative emotions and overcome it in a mature way.
