3. Work on their emotional intelligence.

Children who develop emotional intelligence also develop a higher chance of graduating, getting a good job, and just being happy.

There are many things you can do to develop emotional intelligence, but at the outset, model your good thinking and use of emotions for them, ask them for their ideas, and try not to judge.

Oh, and remember that kids are just that: kids. It's unfair often to expect them to react and respond to things like adults would (or at least, should!).
