What is ParentingEQ?

At ParentingEQ our mission is to equip parents, educators, counselors and anyone working with kids, with tools to help children and families grow emotionally strong and healthy. By viewing challenging behaviors through the lens of lacking skills, we can take them less personally, focus on what to teach, and give kids the strategies they need to thrive. We share what has worked for us and for thousands of children we’ve supported, including our own.

Skills That Help Kids Thrive!

You might call it life skills, soft skills, character education, social-emotional learning (SEL) or developing emotional intelligence (EQ). Whatever the name, it’s all about helping kids (and adults!) develop the skills to:
    • Solve problems
    • Stay calm
    • Get along with others
    • Bounce back from challenges
    • Focus better
    • Communicate more effectively
    • Identify and understand their own feelings
    • Understand other people’s perspectives
    • Manage stress and anxiety in healthy ways
    • Make responsible decisions
These are the skills that make us kinder, more resilient, and better equipped to handle whatever life throws our way.
We all have areas where we can grow, nobody is good at everything, all the time. The good news? These skills can be learned at any age. It starts with recognizing their value, then finding ways to learn and practice them—over and over—until they become part of how we live. This is a journey, not a quick fix.
So, take a deep breath, dive in, and get ready to connect more deeply with your kids and yourself. We’ll show you how to weave these skills into your everyday life, not as “one more thing to do,” but as small changes that make a big difference in your home’s culture and atmosphere. With a little focus, reinforcement, and reflection, you’ll see how these skills can improve behavior, boost academic success, and create a more positive, connected home environment.

Co-founder Amy shares the mindset shift that helps you take your child’s behavior less personally and allows you to focus on which skills can make things better.
