Emotions Matter. They inform our thinking and decisions, the quality of our relationships, our physical and mental health, and everyday performance. Emotional intelligence includes the ability to recognize, label, and regulate emotions. These skills are especially important for developing healthy child-parent relationships, problem solving skills, empathy, and academic performance.
