To begin this week, we start with Daniel Goleman’s work on the Theory of Emotional Intelligence. Goleman suggests that emotional intelligence is the ability to understand and manage feelings, motivate yourself in the face of discord and recognise feelings and feeling displays in others (Goleman, 1996). In the following video link Goleman himself explains some of the key dimensions of emotional intelligence. Please take note of the four domains of this construct which Goleman describes, and any other key ideas which emerge for you as you watch: http://bigthink.com/ideas/14673

While crying is common in children’s services and the early years of school, children may show signs of emotional confusion or distress in other ways. Can you think of any examples, in your experience, where a child’s behaviour was actually a way of them trying to tell you something how they were feeling (e.g. violence like biting or hitting, quietly withdrawing)?
