EQ 2

As promised, today's post will be a continuation of yesterday's discussion, and will mainly focus on the dimensions of EQ.

According to Daniel Goleman, he has defined EQ into five dimensions, namely

1) Awareness of One's Own Emotions
2) Controlling One's Own Emotions
3) Motivating One's Self
4) Knowing the Emotions of Others
5) Relationship Skills

The above are the five dimensions of EQ by Goleman for educators. The development of the five dimensions are all very important, especially where children are concerned. For a healthy transition from the childhood into the adulthood and having healthy relationships with people, development of these dimensions are imperative.

Thanks to the extensive research done by researchers and educators worldwide, there are now so many techniques that the educators and parents can employ to train and develop the child in these dimensions.

Perhaps, this shall be the topic for my blog entry tomorrow.
