According to Sabaa Tahir, a Pakistani-American author, best known for her New York Times bestselling novel An Ember in the Ashes, “Your emotions make you human; even the unpleasant ones have a purpose.” No doubt, it is an irrefutable fact that emotion is the very characteristic feature of a human being, but it is also true that India has very dismal record when it comes to the number of children with good emotional quotient.
Those parents, whose children are not emotionally expressive, tend to beat their chests and start raising accusing fingers on their spouses. Some do start cursing their fates and start making their minds for their (emotionally deficient) children. But, this is not the reason of writing this article. I am sure, you have come here for solution, not maximizing your sufferings that may be arising out of the low emotional level of your children.

Know about their Emotion Configuration: Mind, you need to be good at child psychology, besides being a father or mother to know about the emotional configuration of your child. Some children express their emotions in public, some in private.

Exam Anxiety: Some children tend to get very very upset when examination approaches them. I have seen kids replying, “In this month, I have to prepare for exam”, type of answer when I smile at them or give them a cuddle. The prolonged exam fear takes a toll on their ability to express their emotions freely. Every hour of the day and every minute of the hour, they keep on thinking about examination menace. Sometimes, Parental Pressure to perform better and better and better does also wreak havoc on the emotional stability of the children. Therefore, if you are expecting too much with your kids in examination, you are probably doing much disservice to your children than good. This might be the reason why your children are not emotionally smart.
