Throughout the month of December, both staff and residents focused on the commitment of
Emotional Intelligence

There was a "Thought of the Day" which was shared with the Gannondale community each morning in December. The purpose of this is to keep staff and residents continuously thinking about the concept of
Emotional Intelligence.

For example:

"In the last decade or so, science has discovered a tremendous amount about the role emotions play in our lives. Researchers have found that even more than IQ, your emotional awareness and abilities to handle feelings will determine your success and happiness in all walks of life, including family relationships."
-John Gottman: From Raising an Emotionally Intelligent Child
