Social Edge Media© is pleased to introduce its newest resource, the Brain-Based Emotional Intelligence (EQ) Pre-K and Kindergarten workbook. This innovative publication is designed to help young children learn how to identify, express, and manage their emotions in constructive ways, fostering resilience and confidence at an early age.
In line with Social Edge Media©’s mission to empower children with lifelong social and emotional tools, the workbook incorporates brain-based strategies and child-friendly terminology that encourage students to understand their own emotions. Developed by Dr. Amita Roy Shah, who brings extensive experience as an educator, author, and content developer, this resource focuses on key skills that children need to feel confident and supported in their formative years. Dr. Shah has experiences teaching and supervising pre-service teachers in elementary school classrooms. She has also designed pre-school and kindergarten curricula for various educational publishing firms. Dr. Shah has served as a senior lecturer in the Child and Adolescent Development department at San Jose State University, drawing on more than 12 years of higher education experience to create this practical and accessible workbook.
In the new Brain-Based Emotional Intelligence (EQ) Pre-K and Kindergarten workbook, students are guided to recognize how the brain responds to strong emotions and are introduced to mindfulness-based techniques to help them cope. By providing child-friendly explanations of complex emotional processes, the workbook empowers caregivers and educators to initiate meaningful discussions with children about managing challenges, expressing feelings, and building healthy relationships. According to existing research in social and emotional learning, children who develop stronger EQ are more likely to perform well academically, exhibit creativity, and maintain meaningful connections at home and in school.
Dr. Shah explains that this approach aims to strengthen the caregiver-child relationship through hands-on interaction. She states, “We believe children thrive when parents and educators are equipped with the tools and knowledge to help them navigate their emotions from a place of understanding and empathy. Our new workbook offers an accessible framework for families and schools to support young learners at a critical stage in their emotional development.”
Testimonials from professionals in both clinical and educational settings highlight the workbook’s practical benefits. According to Minal Doshi, LCSW at Sutter Health, the resource gives children essential vocabulary to communicate their feelings, thereby preventing behavioral issues. Preschool Director Imelda Acosta at the Hacienda Child Development Center notes that the interactive exercises help children identify and convey their emotions in constructive ways, ultimately creating a more positive classroom environment. Elementary school teacher Poulomi Chakraborty at Stratford School praises the alignment of the workbook with early childhood education goals, emphasizing its potential to enhance social interactions among peers.
