All those eq and social skills stuff are supposed to be acquired through healthy social interactions with real humans and not toys nor software tools.In fact in my opinion, such tools might deprive children from social time with real humans. I applaud your sacrifice in career for your son's happiness, and I hope you continue to spend a lot of time with him and his brother. No toys could replace your presence in nurturing them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1843384429787837660.post-54473250548015134462015-06-23T14:22:24.622-07:002015-06-23T14:22:24.622-07:00As a paediatric professional I feel it's a goo...As a paediatric professional I feel it's a good idea for you to realize that your son's life can't be about academics only. However it seems to me you are applying what you did about academics to emotional and social intelligence: you are trying to perform and have your son perform on those as well. Maybe letting him develop in a non supervised way would also be beneficial, don't interact with your kid just to interact following preset questions, just try to be. Be with him. Ask him questions if you want to know the answers to these questions and don't ask any questions the day you are tired and have something else going on. Parenting is not something you should major in, it is not a sport or a race.

I had my daughter 2 yrs ago. Both my husband and I wanted her to be happy more than anything else, we named her "Joyce" to remind us of "joy". I am so lost at how to bring her up balancing academics excellence and emotional intelligence. A lot of parents need your help! Thanks for sharing your story, and thanks for coming up with a product that can help a lot of families to have happy, healthy and emotionally intelligent children!<br /><br />I have a blog too on my journey in raising a toddler in the hopes that she will be of great character and emotionally intelligent :-) Here's my blog: http://mypenguinsmart.x10host.com/Jane Yanghttp://mypenguinsmart.x10host.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1843384429787837660.post-82763123405632216522015-06-14T06:15:07.520-07:002015-06-14T06:15:07.520-07:00I did the exact same thing, since baby I always en...I did the exact same thing, since baby I always ensure all her toys are educational, teach her to read, puzzles... etc. Everyone says she's smart and I agreed that she's a fast learner. She's only 5. But she seems unhappy most of the time, grumpy for no reason, throw tantrums, being rude too. Sigh... I need help, please share more.
