Important Exercises for Children to Have Good Emotional Intelligence

Dream - Most parents really want their children to have good academic abilities. This makes them start teaching children who are under 6 years old to read, write, and count (early education).

The translation of the given Bahasa text to English while preserving the HTML tags is as follows: "Harapannya, saat masuk sekolah dasar (SD) anak-anak sudah bisa membaca, menulis dan berhitung dan bisa mengikuti pelajaran dengan baik. Ternyata ada hal yang jauh lebih penting dibandingkan mengajarkan calistung." The expectation is that when entering elementary school, children are already able to read, write, and count, and can follow lessons well. It turns out that there is something much more important than teaching calisthenics.

That is to train them to have good emotional control abilities or commonly called forming emotional intelligence. "Do you know that for young children, what is more important is not the ability of literacy but emotional intelligence? A child who is emotionally intelligent means that he is able to recognize, feel, and manage his emotions," said Audrey Susanto, a child psychologist.

"Of course, emotional intelligence cannot arise on its own. Since early childhood, it is important for children to recognize various names/types of emotions they experience. Starting from sadness, happiness, disappointment, boredom, and so on."

"Nah supaya anak punya kemampuan ini harus dilatih karena anak ga bisa tiba-tiba mahir tanpa diajarkan," ungkap Audrey. "Well, in order for children to possess this ability, they need to be trained because they can't suddenly become proficient without being taught," said Audrey.

"How to Train Emotional Intelligence"

According to Audrey, there are several ways that can be done to train children's emotional intelligence. The first is through co-regulation, which means parents exemplify and acknowledge the child's feelings. "Parents exemplify calm ways, for example, by hugging and validating emotions," she said.

The following is the translation of the text from 'Bahasa' to 'English' while preserving any html tags: "The second is through play. Children really love to play. If they are only advised or told, usually they tend to be confused and unwilling to listen. Through play, children will be more able to accept. Here are some games that can be done to train emotional intelligence."

1. Singing and Dancing Together

Many more songs help introduce children to various emotions, for example, "If You're Happy and You Know It". Look for songs that are easy for children to understand.

2. Cilukba toy looks simple but if played frequently with children, parents can teach their children to experience feelings of surprise and happiness. Please do it regularly, parents. 3. Guess the emotions Parents can show basic emotional expressions (e.g. happy and sad) and then ask the child to guess what emotion the parents are displaying.

4. Blow balloons Blowing balloons can also help teach children to take a break and take a breath when experiencing intense emotions. For example, when a child is angry or sad, give them a balloon to blow until it becomes big. This is suitable for older children. This way, the child will not react to the emotions they are experiencing and give their brain time to think more logically when emotions take control. Source: @audreysusanto
