THE KEYS TO EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE

We mothers will never have a job more important than raising our children to be healthy and spiritually alive. But how do we learn to nurture our children's emotions the way we now know to nurture their intellect?

In this tender and wise little book, Dr. Tian Dayton, familiar to millions of readers from her appearances on Montel, Rikki Lake, Geraldo, John Walsh, MSNBC, NBC, CNN (you choose, no Oprah, sorry) shows us the hidden secrets (or latest techniques for)of nourishing sound emotional development in our children. By weaving together everyday experience and easy to understand explanations of the most up to date scientific research, Dr. Dayton shows us the importance of emotional authenticity. – Children become strong and develop confidence when they can say what they feel and feel what they say.  As mothers we also have an opportunity to grow in strength and confidence throughout the same process.  Motherhood is a spiritual path, that calls parents to expand, stretch, heal, and grow for the sake of our own souls and the souls of our children.  The experience of raising children  also offers a second chance to revisit and heal (rework?) the childhoods we thought we'd left behind. Dr. Dayton's moving book shows us how to make the most of opportunities for emotional, intellectual and spiritual growth and how to avoid some of those common mistakes as we all innocently tend to make.
