Weekend Linky Love- Blogger award style

This week I was very privileged to receive two rewards by Kaye. She blogs over at RandomWAHMThoughts. I stumbled on her site a few weeks ago when I spotted a giveaway for blog buttons and decided to try my luck 🙂

The 1st Award

The rules of this award are:

* Copy the badge and put the logo on your blog sidebar or post.

* Nominate at least 5 blogs (can be more) that for you are Uber Amazing!

* Let them know that they have received this Uber Amazing award by commenting on their blog.

* Share the love and link to this post and to the person you received your award from.

* Come back and comment here so that your link could be added to the master list of awardees.

The 2nd award( The friendship award)

These blogs are exceedingly charming. These kind bloggers aim to find and be friends. They are not interested in self-aggrandizement. Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are propagated. Please give more attention to these writers. Deliver this award to those bloggers who must choose at least 5 more and include this cleverly-written text into the body of their award.
I award both these awards to my following friends

Angeline – All About Your Child
Shelby – Apron Strings and Angst

Educating Your Child

Dominique Thoughts

This month’s focus will be on Educating Junior and how we, as parents, can provide a holistic learning environment

When one talks about educating your child the first thing that comes to mind are academics. Tests, assessments and marks are important in establishing a child’s learning ability academically.

However having a great IQ alone is not enough for one to survive and do well in today’s world. EQ plays and equally important or even high emphasis then IQ to doing well in our society.

I’m sure that you would have heard about the IQ vs EQ debate that happened in the past few years and that how just being intelligent is not enough. You need to be an all rounded and a team player in order to advance in life.

To have a strong EQ one would need to possess the following qualities.

Self Control: Are able to manage disruptive emotions and impulses effectively
Trustworthiness: Display honesty and integrity
Conscientiousness: Dependable and responsible in fulfilling obligations
Adaptability: Flexible in handling change and challenges
Innovation: Open to novel ideas, approaches, and new information.

To have the knowledge without having the HR skills can lead to snafus in relationships and hamper career development and growth in the future.

In the next few posts I would be addressing how as a parent we can help to build up our child’s IQ and EQ.
