There was a time when IQ was considered the leading determinant of
success. In this fascinating book, based on brain and behavioral
research, Daniel Goleman argues that our IQ-idolizing view of
intelligence is far too narrow. Instead, Goleman makes the case for
"emotional intelligence" being the strongest indicator of human
success. He defines emotional intelligence in terms of self-awareness,
altruism, personal motivation, empathy, and the ability to love and be
loved by friends, partners, and family members. People who possess high
emotional intelligence are the people who truly succeed in work as well
as play, building flourishing careers and lasting, meaningful
relationships. Because emotional intelligence isn't fixed at birth,
Goleman outlines how adults as well as parents of young children can
sow the seeds.

Grades Pre-K and K. Children love to listen to storybooks. Children see and hear the English they've learned come alive through storybook characters. Hearing and reading the storybooks will enhance the English they use in and outside of the classroom. Each of the nine storybooks has suggestions for before, during, and after reading the story as well as an activity specific to each book. The nine storybook themes correlate to the Balloons series, or can be used to supplement any program.
