Nurture Your Child’s Emotional Intelligence Quotes

“Have you ever had a beach ball in a swimming pool or in the sea and tried to push it under the water? The ball is big and light on the surface but when you try and push it down it takes a lot of effort. The funny thing is, the harder you push it down, the more forcefully it wants to push itself back up. And if you’re not careful, it flies back up into your face in a crazily powerful way! ‘Well, the beach ball is like your emotions. When you get upset and confused about an emotion, you might find yourself trying to push it away.”
