Raise children who are emotionally intelligent and have good self-esteem by knowing and working on your own issues before becoming a parent.

Are
men to blame for the divorce problem in this country?
According to Mark Brandenburg MA, CPCC - there are specific qualities we need to instill in our own lives in order to raise children with emotional intelligence and cut down on the divorce rate:
- Commitment
According to one definition, “commitment is a freely chosen inner resolve to follow through with a course even though difficulty arises." Commitment is a daily discipline. It’s the chat after dinner, and the kiss before work. It’s the core from which we respond to difficulty. It’s what makes our lives richer and deeper. - Emotional Awareness
If you’re planning on getting married someday, you need to be aware of what your emotional issues are. If you don’t know them, you’re a great candidate to add to a divorce rate that’s already staggering.
- Be Kind, Not Right
An enormous amount of time is wasted in our relationships by arguing over who’s right or wrong. This arguing is an indication of low self-esteem. A more effective way to be in a relationship is to commit to kindness. When you’re kind, you don’t need to be right.
