So much of a young child's aggression and frustration stems from not quite knowing how to interpret and regulate their own strong emotions--and we can help them learn how. Our daughter is young (not quite two) but my husband and I read her books that illustrate, label, and talk about emotions (Baby Happy, Baby Sad is her current favorite!). It really does make a difference. Great post!

In many instances, emotional intelligence is something that is learned through experience rather than known instinctively. While many emotional responses may feel like second nature to adults, its necessary to remember that they often need to be pointed out to children. Great point.
