Emotional Intelligence Made Easy on Ask Mom with Sue Donnellan
Emotional Intelligence Made Easy (Toddlers → Teens)
If “Use your words” and endless lectures aren’t changing behavior, this episode gives you the missing lever: emotional intelligence + intuition…so kids read the room, trust their instincts, and make better choices (without you yelling). Why listen
You’re tired of meltdowns, backtalk, and power struggles.
You want kids who listen, self-regulate, and make wise decisions…at school, online, and with friends.
You need practical scripts and a simple process you can run tonight.
You want your child comfortable in their authentic self, making choices in alignment with who they are, not just what the crowd expects.
What you’ll learn
“Read the Room” for families: the SEE → FEEL → USE mini-framework kids remember.
How to teach kids to trust their instincts (and how you model it).
The shift from “fit in” to “feel in”, why it upgrades confidence, mental health, and decision-making.
Authentic-alignment checks kids can use: “Does this feel like me? Does it match my values and my gut?”
The 360 & Release Method for tough decisions
Real-life examples (teacher, classmate, waitress): spot the unspoken and respond wisely.
The neuroscience link: why parental emotion-coaching builds focus, empathy, and stress recovery.
Episode highlights
“Stop telling kids to ‘be nice.’ Teach them to notice.”
“Feel first, then choose, use the gut without the guesswork.”
“Do their words match their actions?”
“The 10-second script that calms a meltdown without a power struggle.”
“Why kids raised to ‘feel in’ become the ones who don’t follow the crowd.”
“Approval vs. alignment: raise kids who choose what’s right for them, not what’s popular.”
