Do you know what emotional intelligence is? It’s an intelligence that has to do with discerning and understanding emotional information, relating well to others, and achieving your goals. Rachelle (http://www.stepsforstepmothers.com/coaching.html)discusses the importance of emotional intelligence and how stepmothers can develop more of it with Joan Sarin (http://stepmomsos.com/), a social psychologist who specializes in emotional intelligence training for children and parents. Joan is also a stepfamily coach, a writer for Stepmom Magazine (http://www.stepmommag.com/), and is the author of The Emotionally Intelligent Stepmom, a book which will be released this summer.
