Navigating my kid's big feelings sometimes felt like trying to defuse a tiny, very loud bomb, and don't even get me started on the screen time battles. Listening to "Raising Kids With Emotional Intelligence" was such a breath of fresh air; Light in Mind breaks down this huge topic of EQ without making you feel like you need a PhD to understand it. It offered practical little steps, real-life examples that made me nod along thinking "yep, that's my house," and even tips for managing my own reactions, which, let's be honest, is half the battle. Shannon Matson delivers it all beautifully; her voice is engaging and warm, making it feel less like a lecture and more like a chat with a really insightful friend.

Great lessons for kids to be ready for life

Great to learn than more important than a high IQ, which will get them through school, it is a healthy EQ, which will let them get through life. Basic difference but important.
this book has great examples and scenarios that we parents can relate but most importantly, the author shares examples on how to handle difficult situations from handling digital screen time, to lack of communication among the family. This are key elements that if well managed, they will be strong foundations that will help kids to be better prepared in life. Something that was important was our involvement of parents in selecting the apps for example that kids use, like the content, and the emotional education that these apps can provide. Great book to read.
