Review

"What parent hasn't wondered what their child was thinking at some point? Parents and professionals in the field of early childhood education (ages zero to eight), Hadani and Katz were interested in exploring theory of mind (ToM), a system that increases understanding and respect for the beliefs and desires of others and includes delving into one's own cognition. Rather than being a how-to manual, this book is devoted to the 'MIND framework, ' which seeks to raise socially and emotionally intelligent children based on the individual personalities of parents and children. They encourage parents to view a child's actions not from a fix-it perspective, but instead in terms of the child's individual development--a step toward intentional parenting that Hadani and Katz believe is key to inculcating emotional intelligence." --Library Journal-- "Library Journal""As early childhood educators and parents, Helen and Rachael have a deep understanding and respect for the internal workings of children's minds and children's emotional development. They bring a smart, practical, and unique perspective to understanding and nurturing children's social and emotional growth. This book is a must-read for parents who want to give their children the internal tools for success in school and beyond." --Karyn Flynn, MBA, former CEO of the Bay Area Discovery Museum; and founder of Holos, a weekly newsletter--Karyn Flynn, MBA"Feel what a child feels, see what they see, and your day-to-day interactions might just be happier.

What is going on in those little heads? Why do they act the way they do? How can I help them grow to their full potential? In The Emotionally Intelligent Child, authors Katz and Hadani reveal the inner workings of the child's developing mind and offer parents useful techniques to help their children become more caring, thoughtful, and emotionally balanced." --Neil Izenberg, MD, founding editor in chief of Nemours , professor emeritus of pediatrics at Sidney Kimmel Medical College, and advisor to organizations dedicated to children's health--Neil Izenberg, MD"Practical, heartfelt, and clear, this book is an indispensable guide to parenting with wisdom and sensitivity.
