Parenting with Emotional Intelligence 您的情商决定孩子的家庭教育
On Wednesday, School Counsellor, Rachel George, led a workshop on “Parenting with Emotional Intelligence”.
周三，学校顾问Rachel George主持了一场关于“您的情商决定孩子的家庭教育”的工作坊。
Emotions are a source of information that can help us understand ourselves. The workshop was designed to help parents understand the reasons behind their own emotions and, in turn, address those of their children.
情绪信息可以帮助我们了解自己。该工作坊旨在帮助父母了解他们情绪背后的原因，并进而解决他们孩子的情绪。
We ask Rachel to share five tips to help parents and families become more emotionally intelligent.
Rachel分享了以下5个提示，以便提升父母和家人在处理问题时的情商。
1. Have a calming strategy
实施平静策略
In the moment, when our emotions surge, it is hard to identify the real cause. I recommend implementing a calming strategy. Taking deep breaths, getting a drink of water, finding a quiet space, or casting your mind to happy thoughts or places can be helpful. When you are feeling calmer, you can start to process your emotions, asking yourself – or your child – why they reacted in that way to work out underlying causes.
在我们情绪激动的时候，通常很难确定真正的原因。我建议实施平静策略。深呼吸，喝一杯水，寻找一个安静的空间，将你的注意力转移到快乐的事物上可能会有所帮助。当你平静下来，可以开始处理自己的情绪，问问自己—或者孩子—为什么他们会以这种方式做出反应，尝试找出根本原因。
2. Take their temperature
询问孩子的状态
If your child is struggling to manage their emotions, or seems withdrawn, “take their temperature” during the day. By that I mean: ask them how they are feeling. This might be in the car on the way to school, on the way to a party, or an exam.
如果您的孩子正在努力控制自己的情绪，或者已经避而不谈，那么这天就需要您多多关心孩子的状态。我的意思是：要询问关心他们的感受。这可以是在去学校、参加聚会或者去考试的路上。
I suggest also sharing your own feelings too. Perhaps you’re feeling worried or down. Tell them, explain why, and give them time to respond.
我建议家长也要同孩子分享自己的感受。也许你感到担心或者失望。告诉他们，解释这种感受的原因，并给他们时间去回应。
