There are a lot of parents out there wants the most of their child.Some like their children to be a genius and have lots of talents in them or have a high IQ. But for me I want my child to be emotionally intelligent person because this where we say she/he will be successful in life if has a good social behavior. What would be your say on this?

Perhaps, the best will be to have both.

I think in life we can't have it both so we need to choose which direction we want them to be. It's not we decide for them but it is our responsibility to guide them in the right direction.It is in their formative years that is the most important were we want them to be and after that whatever the outcome at least we guide them the correct way and it's for them in in their later years to continue or decide what they want to be.

According to studies in the field of psychology, one need to have the balance of EQ and IQ. Having a large IQ with a low EQ would lead the possibility of the child being prone to lower frustration tolerance, which would sometimes would lead to being insane and poor social interaction. However, on people with having a high EQ and a low IQ is a common to a large masses and there has been a minor impact except on the issue of being ahead of the playing field in socio-economic strata. So it would be best to have a balance of both, any the success in life lies more than having high EQ and IQ.
