Showing results for "Practical Intelligence" in Teen & Young Adult

Scientific research conducted by many American and European universities proves that "common" intelligence responses account for only less than 20 percent of our life achievements and successes, while the other more than 80 percent depends on emotional intelligence. To put it roughly: Either you are emotionally intelligent or you're doomed to mediocrity at best. As opposed to the popular image, emotionally intelligent people are not the ones who react impulsively and spontaneously or who act lively and fiery in all types of social environments.

Do you ever feel like your emotions control you, such as snapping, shutting down, or saying things you regret, even when you know better? Do you find yourself overthinking everything, such as replaying conversations, craving validation, or feeling guilty for setting boundaries? Do you feel disconnected, unseen, or emotionally immature, in which you feel everyone else “gets it,” but you’re still trying to figure out how to stay calm and confident under pressure? You’re not alone — and you can change that starting today.

One in five parents, caregivers, and educators often struggle with how to support their teenager in developing emotional intelligence. But this does not have to be you, because this guide lays out everything you need to know in an accessible and empathetic way.
