How to improve your baby's emotional intelligence: 6 must-learn tips

Excellent babies need to be cultivated from an early age. Babies with high emotional intelligence are conducive to intellectual growth and bring joy to the family. So how to improve the emotional intelligence of babies? What are the small games that can improve the emotional intelligence of babies? The following editor will introduce you in detail.

How to improve your baby's emotional intelligence

Show affection often. Physical touch and eye contact help improve your child's emotional intelligence. Showing affection often during play, eating, and conversation can help foster healthy emotions in your child.

Help children express their emotions. It is also important to help children understand and recognize the various emotional expressions. Many times, children express anger because they do not know how to control their emotions.

Teach your children to make their own decisions. Independence is the most important aspect of emotional intelligence. Only by letting them learn to make their own decisions from an early age can they develop an independent character.

Validate your child's emotions. Allow your child to express their anger instead of telling them "don't be angry." In addition, asking them why they are angry is also important to help them control their emotions. Remember not to try to suppress your child's emotions when they are angry.

Acknowledge their achievements. Always affirm your child's intelligence and avoid belittling their achievements, which can make them less receptive to failure. Teach your child to respond positively and overcome negative emotions when they encounter setbacks.

Don’t over-indulge your child. Avoid saying things like “You can’t do this, let me do it for you”, which will hurt your child’s self-confidence and make him lose his sense of security.

Games to improve your baby's emotional intelligence

I am a radio broadcaster

How to play: Each family member is a radio station, such as Daddy's radio station, and the child's radio station is named after himself. When a parent calls and dials Nini Radio, the child starts broadcasting to the whole family: "My name is Nini,

I am 5 years old this year. I am glad that you are listening. I hope you like me and become good friends with me. Now I will tell you a story..."

Benefits: Cultivate children to tell stories and recite poems clearly, fluently, confidently and expressively; introduce themselves and make new friends.

Telegraph

How to play: An adult tells the child some interesting telegram content, such as a rabbit dancing disco in a light bulb; a mouse defeating a cat, etc. The child passes it to a third person, who then tells the content of the telegram and the sender verifies it. If there is no third person, the child is asked to repeat it in the adult's ear. If the content is wrong, there will be a penalty.

Benefits: During the game, children will concentrate and focus to avoid making mistakes, which cultivates their memory and concentration.

Gurgle Gurgle

How to play: The parent and the child stand face to face, hold their fists, cross their fists and walk around in a circle while saying "Gulu Gulu 1 (show 1 finger)", and the parent says: "A cow". The two people walk around in a circle again and say: "Gulu Gulu 2 (show 2 fingers)", and the child says: "Two birds". Say the number words in sequence up to 10, and the game is over.

Small salesperson

Preparation: 5 to 10 toys for children and an apron.

How to play: Put the toys in place one by one, and the parent should wear an apron and act as a salesperson to introduce the products to the child. For example, point to the toy dog ​​and say, "This is a puppy, with white fur, a nose that can smell, four legs, and a curly tail. It can help people guard the door. Do you want to buy it?" If the child hears the salesperson's good words, he will "buy" the puppy back, and then the child will act as a salesperson to introduce the products, and the game will be repeated.

Variations of the game: various items such as fruits, vegetables, vehicles, dolls, etc. can appear; customers can also be asked to describe the features of the items they want to buy without saying the name, and let the salesperson guess. If the guess is correct, the item will be "sold" to the customer.

Benefits: Cultivating children's communication and understanding abilities will not only make them more confident when interacting with others, but also improve their ability to identify objects.

Teach you how to improve your child's emotional intelligence

In the process of emotional intelligence education, parents should pay attention to the following aspects. Parents should often use words such as "Are you unhappy?" and "If you feel wronged..." to help children identify their emotions and teach them to properly deal with negative emotions, such as "If you are sad, you might as well cry, don't hold it in your heart." At the same time, parents should help children build self-confidence, an optimistic attitude towards life and cultivate good interpersonal skills, all of which will help children improve their emotional intelligence.

Education is everywhere, and emotional intelligence is everywhere. Parents should never think that they are only educating their children when they talk to them or criticize them. How parents dress, how they treat others, how they express their feelings...all of these are important to the development of children's emotional intelligence. Children have strong curiosity and imitation ability. They observe their parents' every move every day, silently imitating and learning.

Child education experts tell us that if we only make demands on children without checking their completion, it will be difficult to help them improve their emotional intelligence. When strictly requiring children, parents should be careful not to set too high requirements, but should meet the characteristics of their age. Requirements that exceed the age range are too demanding and will have a huge negative impact on children's emotional intelligence.

It takes time for your baby to adapt to a nanny.

Nannies are not like teachers in kindergartens. They not only look after your baby, but also take care of your baby's daily life. Everyone has different living habits. Changing your baby is like changing your lifestyle. Studies have shown that it takes three months for a baby to adapt to a nanny.

Suppose you place your doll with your parents-in-law today, with your grandparents tomorrow, and with other adults the day after tomorrow. It will seem as if your doll is exposed to different environments. Once your doll adapts to being cared for by one person, it will not want to leave. Separation will make it feel like it is abandoned.

Your baby doesn't want to leave after adapting to being taken care of by one person. I know and have experienced this. I was busy with work for a while, and I gave my baby to my parents-in-law to take care of before he was three years old. When I went to take the baby to my side, the baby didn't like it very much, and cried for grandma and didn't want to be separated from grandma. Because he felt as if he was abandoned by grandma. There was no other way, so I had to let my mother-in-law come to accompany the baby, and the baby was willing. And during the period of adaptation, the baby didn't like to eat the food I made, and some of my life might have disturbed him.
