Emotional intelligence is the ability to understand, use, and manage our emotions. 

Emotional intelligence is sometimes called EQ (or EI) for short. Just as a high IQ can predict top test scores, a high EQ can predict success in social and emotional situations. EQ helps us build strong relationships, make good decisions, and deal with difficult situations.

Some people have naturally good EQ skills. Others need to work on them. The good news is that everyone can get better. 

This weeks focus for our journalling is to be more aware of the way we interact and communicate with others. We have learnt about aggressive, passive and assertive styles. This week's reading revisits this.   

First Impressions!

As part of our Belonging topic one of the things we will learn is how to be more aware of our thoughts when we meet people for the first time. For example when we start a new class or have a new student start at our school.

It's easy to judge a person by their looks  but is that always going to be right? or fair to the person you are meeting?
