“Don’t be discouraged if your child doesn’t understand you right now. It’s a long journey, but when they grow up, they will appreciate that you walked through it with them.” - Pauline

In this episode, our host Alicia speaks with Pauline Chia, Principal of Faith Methodist Preschool, about raising emotionally intelligent children. With 36 years of experience in early childhood education and her own parenting journey, Pauline shares why emotional intelligence matters, how parents can nurture it from the earliest years, and practical ways to help children manage emotions and build resilience.

Discover what emotional intelligence means for young children, the modeling role parents play in shaping confidence and self-awareness, and simple tips to foster emotional regulation and optimism in everyday life.
