How We Love: Our Children Are Watching Us Love

Emotional intelligence doesn’t start in the boardroom. It starts at home.

In this powerful conversation, Clytie Tammy sits down with Dr. Donnette Green to unpack what emotional intelligence really looks like inside families. Drawing from her years in Child Protective Services, Dr. Green shares what she’s learned about children’s behaviour, parenting patterns, and the emotional climates that shape young lives.

They explore how parenting styles influence trust and communication, why self-awareness is essential before we try to “teach” our children anything, and how emotional literacy begins with something as simple — and as powerful — as naming feelings.

The conversation also addresses co-parenting tensions, the emotional weight many parents carry silently, and why self-care isn’t indulgent but necessary. Dr. Green highlights the importance of community, cultural understanding, and intentional communication in raising emotionally secure children.

This episode is a reminder that the way we love, regulate, and communicate at home creates ripple effects for generations. If you’re interested in building a calmer, more emotionally aware household, this conversation will stay with you.
