CAP 2006

The PCE club’s CAP 2006 conference will be held on Saturday September 9, 2006 at Clarion Hotel, Edison, NJ.  The theme of the CAP 2006 is “Raising an Emotionally Intelligent Child”

Emotional Intelligence (EQ) is dealing with how well an individual manages their emotions, demonstrates empathy to others and rebounds from difficult situations.   Studies in recent years have consistently demonstrated that a high EQ correlates strongly with success in school, job and personal life.  Though the Emotional Intelligence can be trained through out our lifetime, early age is extremely important time period for one’s EQ development. 

CAP 2006 will extensively discuss the Children’s EQ Development in many aspects and will definitely benefit both children and parent on their personal successes.   It will feature a keynote speech by an expert on “Emotionally Intelligent Parenting”, "Fish Bowl" forum with Teenagers, and four tracks of discussions on Special Children Needs, EQ Coach, Multi Culture and Leadership around the main EQ theme. The conference will be offered free to the PCE Club members.
