Family: Olivia's 5 and Learning Emotional Intelligence

Olivia's 5 and Learning Emotional Intelligence

Written by Susan Dunn, The EQ Coach

Olivia and I returned from going to repparttar

rodeo, and we’d been talking about going swimming. “That would be fun,” I said. “We’re hot and sticky. Let’s ask your Dad if you can.”

When we got to repparttar 111442 house, Olivia ran ahead of me. While I was talking to her Dad, she came running out in her swimsuit. “We’re going swimming!” she said, bouncing up and down, “We’re going swimming!”

You can imagine what transpired. She’d been told she couldn’t go swimming, and had done an end-run around Nana. She had to go to her room and take off her swim suit, and she was inconsolable. I helped her get dressed, while she sobbed. I commiserated with her sadness and anger, supported her father’s decision, and agreed with her it was sad, sad. I’d been looking forward to it myself and it isn’t always easy for me to accept my son as a higher-authority than me! I didn’t like his reason why she couldn’t go, so was dealing with my own stuff, looking for a distraction.

But what is Aromatherapy exactly?

Aromatherapy is repparttar 111446 art and practice of using essential oils extracted from aromatic plants and herbs to restore or enhance health, beauty and well being. Aromatic molecules interact with repparttar 111447 tops of your nasal cavity and give repparttar 111448 signal to repparttar 111449 limbic system (the emotional switchboard of repparttar 111450 brain). The limbic sys- tem is directly connected to repparttar 111451 part that controls repparttar 111452 heart rate, blood pressure, breathing, memory, stress level and hormone balance.

And it works. For example, we use Vicks for our colds, sinusitis and sore throat. It contains Eucalyptus. For me, it's repparttar 111453 only treatment that I find effective for Bronchitis, despite antibiotics treatment.

Let's talk about Lavender. Lavender is multi use oil; it has strong psychological effects and physiological cures.

We find Lavender in repparttar 111454 France. That flower has a fresh, sweet, floral scent. It has calming effect; smell it when you are stressed in repparttar 111455 traffic, or at work, or right before an exam because Lavender has calming proprieties for panic attacks, stress, anxiety and even depression! It's a gentle narcotic for mental and physical strain.

Some couples use Lavender base candles during giving birth to have repparttar 111456 most calming experience, for repparttar 111457 mother and for repparttar 111458 new born. Other people burn a candle on a regular basis, after a surgery to help cope with repparttar 111459 pain. You can also do it to calm repparttar 111460 kids in repparttar 111461 house! Or, for an anticipated quiet night at home with you lover...
