Question

Beibei is a 6-year-old girl from Beijing. She is a single child in a rich family. During a family trip to Shanghai，she made her parents feel ashamed（难为情的）. When taking the crowded subway，Beibei said to her mom，“Ask someone to offer me a seat. ”Her mom told her to sit on their bags，but she was angry and didn’t talk anymore.

Why did the girl behave like that? According to Zhang Yiyun，a Chinese EQ education expert（专家）from Taiwan，many single children are self-centred. They don’t have the skill to solve trouble. Self-centeredness is one of the problems caused by a low EQ.

EQ is the ability to know our own feelings and those of others，and also manage our emotions（情感）and relationships. Most people know that IQ is important，but EQ is probably more important in daily life. When facing an exam，EQ helps us to manage stress（压力）. When getting along with friends or parents，EQ helps us to communicate well.

EQ is shaped partly by genetics（遗传学）. “You can see some babies are quiet，while others have bad tempers，”Zhang Yiyun told Xinhua News Agency. EQ is also something you can learn for yourself. You can learn what different feelings might mean and how they relate to yourself and others.

If we learn in the right way，our EQ can get better as we get older. Children with a high EQ usually have greater success with making friends. They are also better able to manage conflicts（矛盾）with others. A high EQ is a combination（结合）of a few different skills，so we’d better learn these skills.
