Tuning in to Kids®

Emotionally Intelligent Parenting

A program for parents of children aged 3 – 12 years

Would you like to be able to better support your child in managing their own emotions and behaviours? Starting in week 3 of term 3, Sacred Heart is running the Tuning Into Kids group program.

Tuning Into Kids will help you to improve your own skills in:

• talking with your child
• understanding your child
• helping your child manage their emotions
• preventing behaviour problems in your child
• teaching your child to deal with conflict

Tuning in to Kids shows you how to help your child develop emotional intelligence.

Children with higher emotional intelligence:

• have greater success with making and keeping friends
• have better concentration at school
• Increased resilience when facing difficulties
• are more able to calm down when upset or angry
• tend to have fewer childhood illnesses

Skills associated with emotional intelligence are proven to prevent or reduce mental health problems. Emotional intelligence may be a better predictor of academic and career success than IQ!
