In this episode, we discuss John Gottman's 5 Steps to Raising Emotionally Intelligent Children. We break down each step and I share a personal example of my wife communicating the 5 steps in action with our daughter and some context around what she did that fit so well with the model. If you listen carefully, these 5 Steps can apply directly to how you lead in life, at work, and at home.

The 5 Step Emotion Coaching Model by John Gottman:
Step #1: Be aware of your child's emotions
Step #2: Recognize emotion as an opportunity for connection and/or teaching
Step #3: Help your child verbally label emotions
Step #4: Communicate empathy and understanding
Step #5: Set limits and problem solve

Hope you enjoy this short listen on one of the most important things in our lives... parenting.

All the best,
