E.I. and healthy parenting

This book on parenting, covering everything from birth through to the late teenage years, centres specifically on the use of emotional intelligence (E.I.) as a guiding principle. For those unfamiliar with the concept, it serves as a solid introduction, offering concise and clear, albeit brief, explanations of the 5 core components. In other words understanding your own emotions, noticing how you're feeling, and recognising how those feelings affect your behaviour and reactions with your children. I appreciated the author’s reasoning, and fully agreed with the central message.....that emotionally sensitive parenting is essential for raising well adjusted, self-aware children.
However, despite the strong foundation, I felt some sections would have benefited from deeper exploration. Certain concepts were introduced but not fully developed, and a few of the practical examples felt too brief or surface-level. That being said, the book compensates for this by providing a helpful list of additional resources at the end, allowing the reader to delve deeper into specific areas of interest. Overall, it’s a great starting point—ideal for those new to EI, especially in parenting, and it definitely resonated with my ideas of healthy parenting practice.
I found the narration different, but interesting, with an accent that kept me wondering, but not off putting.

I Feel So Much More Connected to My Kid Now

This book really helped me understand my child better—not just what they do, but why they do it. Parenting with Heart and Mind gave me simple tools to open up better conversations and be more patient. The tips on emotional intelligence were eye-opening, and I’ve already noticed a difference in how my kid handles stress and talks about their feelings. It’s written in a warm, friendly way, so it doesn’t feel overwhelming at all. I’m super glad I picked it up!

Emotional Intelligence in parents and kids

This is what we all need. More emotional intelligence, not just for us as parents but for our kids as well. It's how they are going to get thru this world and thrive.

Such a Unique and Fresh Perspective!

I feel like a lot of parenting books teach you things that sound good in a vacuum and if life is perfect but that’s not how life goes. This book understands that and teaches you how to be a good and loving parent through the means of improving your communication style and emotional connection.
