Supermums are everywhere—we see them on Instagram posts, television programs, billboard ads, and even in real life among family and friends. They seem to have the perfect career, perfect home life, perfect spouse and, of course, perfect kids.
But beneath the glittering achievements and glamour photos, they may actually be having a harder time than we may think. There may actually be hard work, time, energy and research that goes into raising such a well-rounded child more than another parent.
We know how kids can be sometimes, showing tantrums or being mischievous from time to time, even when you’re implementing all the latest parenting techniques.
This is due to children’s brain is still at an early stage of development including emotional intelligence (EQ), and EQ skills such as social skills, adaptation and emotions. They are still young, after all, and our brains apparently don’t fully mature emotionally until we’re well into our mid-twenties.
In fact, research shows EQ matters twice as much as IQ (intelligence quotient)¹. Higher EQ has been linked to professional and academic success, happier relationships and marriage, stronger resilience in stressful situations, and a positive outlook on life.
Some parents may be aware of the importance of EQ but haven’t got the BEST solution to help their child EQ development yet.
We see and hear you, supermums! So, what if there was a way to make your job a little easier to optimise your child’s EQ?
Read on to find out more about how you can improve your child’s emotional intelligence beyond simple parenting.

A trait that will greatly improve a child’s ability to regulate their own emotions.
