It is natural for parents to want their child to be happy, but in life we cannot always be happy. Our experiences come with a variety of emotions from a young age: this mosaic of feelings—joy, anxiety, sadness, fear, etc.—gives us a rich life experience and is essential because it is what makes us human.
In recent years, advances in understanding brain development have brought about a radical change in the way parents raise their children.

Not only do they not encourage them to suppress their emotions, but they seek tools to help their little ones recognize each emotion and manage it in a healthy way.
In this book, renowned educators and experts in emotional development, Alyssa Blask Campbell and Lauren Stauble, present a revolutionary method for parents and educators to deepen their relationship with children and guide them as they navigate the challenging world of emotions.
With the method of Collaborative Emotion Processing, they learn how to respond to children's intense emotions, how to set and maintain appropriate boundaries, and how to stand by them with patience, understanding, and love.

We envision societies in which people desire dialogue and diversity because they feel comfortable with their own emotions and the emotions of others. In such a world, we raise compassionate children who are confident and full of love, who grow into adults who can rely on each other, respect personal boundaries, recognize their mistakes, and feel good about their abilities. This is emotional intelligence.
