Summary

Emotional intelligence within a family means parents being aware of their children's feelings, and being able to understand, soothe, and c0nduct them. And for children, they are able to control their emotion to cope with life’s ups and downs.
According to research on parent-child interactions, Children whose parents consistently practice Emotion Coaching have better physical health and score higher academically than children whose parents don't offer such guidance. Also, children whose parents use a coaching style of parenting are become more resilient. Emotion Coaching can even protect kids from the proven harmful effects of an increasingly common crisis for families-marital conflict and divorce.
Research also shows that father has an extremely positive impact on their children's emotional development. Emotion-Coaching parents can help their kids develop into healthier, more successful adults. At the same time, parents using Emotion Coaching will probably feel themselves growing emotionally closer to their children. Also, both parents and children are even more invested in their lives and can therefore assert a stronger influence to each other.
Since emotion Coaching to children requires a significant amount of commitment and patience between the coach and the children, parents is in the best spot for offer the guidance to their children.

Hi !
Thanks for this summary. I learnt quite a lot reading it.
It would have been better if you paid more attention to some of your verb tenses and use of capital letters in a sentence.

Also, try to use proper citations methods. For example, in the end when you state your reference, you should have stated the author's last name, name of the article, date of retrieval and finally the URL link.

P/S: this probably might be the last comment from me on your blog! It was a great pleasure reading it. :)

Thank you for the neat summary of such a useful article. It would help, however, if you named the article that you are summarizing at the start of the summary.

Thamk you, Ming, for your hard work on this assignment and this term!
