Emotional Intelligence

Session Summary

This class was a test of everything we've learned in the workshop:

- Starting a conversation with a stranger

- Using names

- Being engaged and curious

- Watching out for signals from the other person (feedback), for example, when the person is distracted.

- Understanding other person feelings and needs

- Understanding your own feelings and needs and expressing them

- Recognizing mixed signals and addressing them

The kids did really well. We had several tests:

1. Each student was talking to a person who pretends to be a stranger and follows different scenarios

2. The students had a short dialog with their partner and verbalized feelings and needs from the dialog. Here are examples of some of the dialogs:

We also tried to role play a conversation with a parent (thank you Masha and Olya), where a child played an adult and an adult played a child. That was fun!
