We’ve all been told emotional intelligence is a good thing, but are we really clear about what it is and how we can all get more of it? We know it helps children self-regulate, be more motivated, maintain relationships and be more resilient, but how do we go about accessing these benefits?

The Power of Emotional Intelligence will help primary school teachers and leaders to increase their awareness and use of emotional intelligence to improve the wellbeing of the whole school community. It includes everything you need to embed emotional intelligence at the core of your school’s ethos. This practical book:

explores key issues relating to emotional intelligence to help develop adults’ understanding contains a wealth of activities that can be used with children to help develop their emotional intelligence, with extra focus given to anger and anxiety, as well as the impact emotions can have on learning and relationships covers the beneficial impact of emotional intelligence when supporting challenging behaviour outlines a straightforward emotional intelligence curriculum that ties into the personal, social, health and economic education (PSHE) schemes of work; and provides ideas for developing a whole-school approach to putting emotional intelligence firmly on the agenda.

This comprehensive resource has been written with teachers and school leaders in mind – particularly PSHE leads, special educational needs coordinators and those who work in pupil referral units and alternative provisions; but it is a useful tool for all adults working with children who are looking to improve children’s self-awareness and wellbeing.
