You will be given suggestions to help you put strategies in place in the home and at the end of the course you will be given an appraisal of your child and suggestions for further improvements.

It is important that your child attends ALL 5 sessions to get the most out of the course.

INVESTMENT: $500 (This may be paid week by week after an initial deposit of $160 has been made) This fee includes our EQ4FAMILIES parents/carer training.

The parents of children enrolled in EQ4KIDZ are required to participate in our EQ4FAMILIES training. The changes that you desire for your children cannot happen just by a 14 hour course. It also needs positive reinforcement by you during the course and in the future. The best way to achieve this is by your attendance at the EQ4FAMILIES workshop. This workshop is run over 2 evenings and gives you many practical strategies for nurturing harmony and emotional intelligence in the home. . To read more information about the EQ4FAMILIES workshop and the dates for the workshops see below.

Please call us if you have any queries about the course. We also help children with all types of learning difficulties and we find participation in this course definitely improves academic outcomes.

All children will need a folder for notes and an old shirt for art activities.

MISSED SESSIONS:
You are charged for all sessions-even if you miss one. Your child will be invited to make up their session at the next EQ4KIDZ cycle.

Many children need more than 1 cycle of EQ4KIDZ- it all depends on the issues involved and their responses. The following cycles are offered at $360.

Individual EQ follow-up counselling is offered at $120 per hour.

On the first day when you bring your child please be 10 minutes early, bring your child into the teaching area and leave fairly quickly so we can establish rapport with your child and acquaint them with the environment.

This nationally acclaimed program has helped literally thousands of children to improve emotional intelligence and increase motivation and self-confidence.

WHY DOES EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE MATTER?

• Children who recognise and understand their feelings become more adept at handling and expressing them appropriately
• Children and teachers who are less unduly stressed are able to manage competing demands more effectively
• Children who have become better listeners are more likely to see the other person’s point of view
• Children gain an increased attention span
• Children develop skills at forming and maintaining relationships
• Children will have learned problem-solving methods that lead to enhanced interpersonal skills as adults
• Children learn to manage conflicts and are therefore less likely to be involved in crime,  particularly those crimes involving violence
• Children who have learned skills that enhance their future parenting skills
