Low emotional intelligence can often be identified in childhood through various behavioral indicators such as difficulty in expressing emotions, struggles with empathy, and challenges in managing interpersonal relationships. These signs may become evident as early as preschool years when children begin interacting more independently with peers and adults.
Once identified, the next steps should focus on providing targeted support and interventions. Parents play a crucial role by creating a supportive and nurturing environment at home, where emotions are openly discussed and validated. They can help children recognize and label their emotions, teach coping strategies, and model healthy emotional regulation.
Schools should complement this effort by incorporating social-emotional learning (SEL) programs into their curriculum. These programs help children develop self-awareness, social skills, and responsible decision-making abilities. Teachers can facilitate classroom discussions on emotions, encourage empathy through cooperative activities, and provide a safe space for students to express their feelings.
Collaboration between parents and schools is essential to ensure a holistic approach to supporting emotional development. Regular communication and sharing of strategies can reinforce emotional learning both at home and in educational settings, fostering resilience and emotional competence in children from an early age.

Many people come from dysfunctional families, which eventually changes their perspective of seeing anything specially in relationships or trusting people. Childhood trauma can be a life-changing point in anybody’s life. Hence, it becomes important for adults to make sure their children are in good health. By good health, it means physical health and mental health both. Raising kids is raising a new generation, and adults must make sure they do it best. Feeding kids, getting them education, and providing them with money doesn’t mean their job is done; raising kids also requires adults to make sure their children aren’t suffering alone. The spike in mental health problems is a result of not talking about our problems. Adults must be friendly with their children so that if anything troubles the kid, they can run to their parents and not to anyone who can take advantage. It’s important for parents to gain their children’s trust. It’s extremely important to understand a child’s emotions and make them realize their emotions are valid. Talking about their problems and not blaming them for getting in trouble is sometimes the best parents can do. Parents must be a child’s home and not another battle to face.
