The Effectiveness of Listening
There are various ways to develop children’s emotional intelligence so that they may become emotionally healthy adults. CPI seeks to create a comfortable space where children can feel safe enough to voice their thoughts and opinions and share their emotional responses. A mindful observation of your class will help you recognize children who are not yet comfortable expressing what they are feeling in the moment and might simply need a compassionate listener.
