Raising An Emotionally Intelligent Child by John M. Gottman

Product Details

About the Book

Every parent knows the importance of equipping children with the intellectual skills they need to succeed in school and life. But children also need to master their emotions. Raising An Emotionally Intelligent Child is acclaimed psychologist and researcher John Gottman's guide to teaching children to understand and regulate their emotional world, presenting a parenting approach he calls "Emotion Coaching." By guiding children through their feelings while offering empathy and support, parents can nurture their children's emotional intelligence and their capacity for meaningful relationships.

Drawing on his research, Gottman lays out a five-step Emotion Coaching process: becoming aware of a child's emotions, recognizing emotional expression as an opportunity for intimacy and teaching, listening empathetically and validating the child's feelings, helping the child label their emotions in words they can understand, and helping them find an appropriate way to solve a problem or navigate an upsetting situation. The book offers specific techniques for practicing Emotion Coaching across every stage of childhood — from decoding an infant's cues to mentoring adolescents through complex emotions — and shows that children raised this way go on to enjoy increased self-confidence, greater physical health, better school performance, and healthier social relationships, along with more stable heart rates and lower stress hormones. Written for parents of children of all ages, the book aims to enrich the bond between parent and child and contribute to raising a generation of emotionally healthy adults.

Critical and Reader Reception

One reviewer, writing for The Psychiatry Resource, called it probably the best book ever written on parenting, noting that many other well-regarded parenting books essentially read like a rewrite of Gottman's original work, and describing it as the gold standard against which all other parenting books are measured. Reviewers do note that its concepts, while powerful, take time to grasp, and that readers wanting a handful of quick, concrete tactics might prefer a more prescriptive book such as Ross Greene's The Explosive Child.
