Emotional intelligence and social skills originate from the premise that when you master the art of identifying and managing your own emotions, it is easier to understand and manage the feelings of other people (often referred to as putting yourself in their shoes, or empathy). You begin to understand their emotions by seeing things from their perspective and are therefore in a much better place when it comes to influencing or persuading people. When you understand how people feel and think, it is easier to tap into those emotions and channel them for influencing people or developing fruitful relationships with them. This is how emotional intelligence can be woven into social skills.
Nobody can claim that they do not have emotional intelligence. The only difference is that people exhibit varying levels of EI – some are simply more emotionally intelligent than others. However, it is not something that is fixed from birth to death. There are steps and actions you can take to become more intelligent emotionally. In fact, if there is one feature of personal development  that most people need to work on, it is their emotional intelligence. Research has proven that those individuals who have a higher emotional quotient, or EQ, tend to make better leaders, enjoy a better quality of personal and professional relationships, and are more mentally healthy. All you need to do to increase your emotional quotient is take the time to put into practice the tips and strategies. You will learn how to know yourself better so that you can understand others better and also how your emotional brain works, and how emotional intelligence can be improved.

There is an urgent need to foster strong mental and social health amongst today’s children so that they can connect with their peers, their elders, the community, the environment, etc. School education must empower children to be active citizens, caring, responsible and compassionate human beings.
