Official Review: Emotional Intelligence Activity Book for...

[Mbrooks2518]

Seems like a good idea that as badly executed and not enough thought put into it either. Some of the negatives you brought up, like not being written for kids to read themselves, actually makes me wonder if the author even has any kids herself.
Thanks for the detailed and thorough review!

I have gathered that ,the strategic arrangement of material in this read was good.However the targeting is totally off the mark- the interactive aspect is woefully compromised. I hope the author takes note.Thanks for such a thorough review

Yes, I hope she takes note too and alters the workbook so it's more useful. Thanks for your comment!

Emotional quotient is an important human facet to hone, and I agree that it's best that professional advice is well-backed. I appreciate the author's honesty with the declared disclaimer. Thank you as well for your frank yet well-explained thoughts on the piece.

Yes, me too. Thanks for your comment!

Wow, this sounds like a great concept with an extremely messy execution. Too bad the book didn’t live up to its potential.

Agreed. Thanks for your comment!

The idea of the book is quite interesting. The title just draws in anyone working with children. It's unfortunate that it was poorly executed. The author should have done some research on child psychology in order to know how well to package some of the ideas. Thanks for your thoughtful review!

I agree, this is a very important topic, too important to be "winging it." Thanks for your comment!

The author had good intentions with this book. I love your insightful comments about the book's contents. Your parental common sense shines through! Thanks for your review.

Aww, thank you for that! Thanks for stopping by.

I liked the title of the book and would have had high expectations of it myself. It's unfortunate that the content reflects a very poor knowledge of children's psychology. Perhaps having some professional consultants on the book would have been a good idea. The concept of teaching children about their emotions is a good one, it was just poorly done in this book. Thanks for the review, I'll be sure to avoid this one.

I agree, I had high hopes based on the title as well. I think this book has potential if some professional psychologists and publishers were engaged. Thanks for your comment!

Thanks for the detailed and thorough review!

Yes, I'm not sure what the case is here. It might just be an old school way of thinking. Thanks for commenting!

It sounds like this book has a lot of issues. It sounded promising though. Excellent review

I was so interested in the title of this book that I clicked through to your review right away. What a shame it did not deliver! So many things could prevent a child from enjoying their schoolwork - to deal with this by shaming them for their "bad attitude" could mean that an opportunity to uncover an underlying issue is missed. Thanks for a very helpful review.

I am so disappointed! I was very excited to read the title of this book. I work in an elementary school, and I thought this might be a great resource. I see that with the vocabulary issues alone it will not be. Thanks for your very thorough review.

Thank you for this review. I was thinking of picking this up, now I will be choosing something else. It seems like there is maybe just too much information in this book.
