Feelings First: Raising Emotionally Intelligent Children

Every parent wants a child who thrives—not just academically, but emotionally. In *Feelings First*, Priya Anand Rao offers a warm, practical guide to nurturing your child's emotional intelligence from toddlerhood through the school years. Drawing on decades of experience as a parenting educator and family counselor, Rao shows you how to create a home where feelings are welcomed, named, and understood. You’ll learn how to respond to tantrums with calm connection, teach conflict resolution without shame, and model emotional honesty while protecting your child’s sense of safety. This book goes beyond simple “name that emotion” exercises; it helps you weave emotional literacy into everyday moments—morning routines, sibling squabbles, bedtime conversations. Rao also shares gentle strategies for protecting family privacy and maintaining your couple’s bond amid the emotional demands of parenting. With practical scripts, reflection prompts, and a non-judgmental tone, *Feelings First* empowers you to raise children who are resilient, empathetic, and self-aware—while keeping your own emotional cup full.
