What's the most important piece of your child's educational program? If you think it's math, science, or grammar, you might be overlooking an element that is fast becoming essential in today's stressful world: cultivating inner resiliency. In Building Emotional Intelligence, pioneering educator Linda Lantieri joins forces with internationally renowned psychologist Daniel Goleman to offer a breakthrough guide for helping children quiet their minds, calm their bodies, and identify and manage their emotions. Now available to the public for the first time, here are Lantieri's proven techniques arranged according to age group, complemented by a spoken-word CD with exercises presented by Goleman. "We need a new vision of education that includes the mind and the heart," says Lantieri. With Building Emotional Intelligence, parents, teachers, and caregivers have the tools necessary to help build these invaluable skills in the children they raise.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS:

Customer Rating:
Summary: Toddler loved it too!
Comment: I reviewed this book for a class and popped in the CD to listen to the meditations and relaxation exercises. The first set are for 5 year olds but my two and a half year old son sat down on the couch next to me and we both learned how to relax! A little while later, he asked for "Relax Relax"! He is an active little guy and maybe he knows mommy needs it more than he does, but I was happily surprised he responded so eagerly to it. He also enjoyed the second meditation too, listening for the sounds.

Customer Rating:
Summary: A great resource.
Comment: I loved reading this book. As a parent and educator, I am constantly worried about the impact of today's difficult times on children. This book not only addresses this issue, it actually provides guidelines about how to deal with it. The activities mentioned are easy to follow, and tailored for kids in different age groups. A great resource for teaching our children better ways to deal with stress and ensure their social and emotional development. The CD is an added bonus.

Customer Rating:
Summary: Long overdue
Comment: As part of the respected research on mindfulness, cultivating inner strength in children has been mentioned but parents had no guide. This book is extraordinarily concrete. It not only gives parents (and grandparents!!) means to help children, but it strengthens the bond between them. In a day when videos and computers all but raise kids, deeply human understanding will help keep kids balanced and they look forward to doing these things with people who care about them. Get the book for your adult children who are parents, yes--but better, spirit away your grandchildren for these kinds of times which happen with you. A much-needed resource.

Customer Rating:
Summary: From a parent/educator
Comment: This is a book that makes sense. So many parents and educators are concerned about the extraordinary amount of stress and pressure our children are experiencing. This book allows educators the opportunity to follow a step by step lesson plan along with other helpful tips to reduce that stress. Parents will find that they can take the activities and do them at home along with their child. Finally we're talking about the part of our children that schools often overlook, their social and emotional well being. It is written in understandable and relatable language. I hope schools will buy this book for every educator and parent in their school community!

Customer Rating:
Summary: Both Powerfully Inspiring and Totally Practical
Comment: I finally had a chance to read Building Emotional Intelligence and found it a refreshing dose of "this is what matters" with a special kid-focused twist. It's absolutely wonderful--so moving and totally practical in a way that will undoubtedly inspire to many parents, teachers, and students. Brava!
