EQ for Kidz was created based on the evidence that cultivating emotional intelligence in early childhood is the key to developing strong relationships, achieving success, and overall happiness in life. Our programs are completely customized to meet your family's unique needs.
Our expert coach, Susanna, works with children ages 4-12 through a tailored program of mindfulness activities, resources, and interactive games that match their unique EQ profile. But EQ for Kidz doesn't stop there - we also empower parents to become lifelong "emotion coaches" for their children, providing practical tools that will last a lifetime.
But that's not all - EQ for Kidz also facilitates parent workshops and teacher training at international schools and throughout the community, covering topics like communication, empathy, and self-regulation, giving parents and educators the tools they need to foster emotional intelligence in children.
At EQ for kidz, we believe that emotions matter, and that if we learn how to understand and navigate them in healthy ways, we become a better version of ourselves. The good news is that this crucial form of intelligence – EQ – can be taught and learned at any age. Our hope is that every child will have access to EQ development in the early years, when it matters most.
Susanna’s vision is for emotional intelligence education to become the norm – that all around the world, we will teach these vital skills to young minds, which will grow into heartful and brave individuals who know the immense value of a kind word or deed.
If we can achieve that dream, imagine how wonderful our world would be!
Susanna Nicol, a specialist in child emotional intelligence and parenting, is the founder of EQ for kidz. She created these unique programs based on her background in Early Childhood Education and Child Developmental Psychology.
Throughout Susanna’s extensive experience teaching children both in schools and in the home, she observed an important piece of children’s intelligence missing in education – the ability to cope with hard feelings, to be a kind friend, to persevere through hardships, and to understand and empathize with others.
Susanna not only understands the science behind emotions, but also how to coach practical tools and strategies to develop EQ in the early years – when it matters most.
