Title: Raising Your Family EQ
Author: Christabel and Lisabel
PUBLISHER: Students Care Service
ISBN: 981-05-2683-0

This book by Christabel and Lisabel is a must-buy workbook for all families who want to cultivate family EQ. Through its short and relevant stories, it is very effective in getting families together and apply the 4Ts(Tale, Talk, Think, Task). Its clear approach and simplicity belies the great importance in reaching out to families of varied background.

An example in this approach can be seen in Tale 39 about Martin, who was addicted in computer games. The authors ended the tale with Martin's mother abruptly stopping him from continuing after persistent warning.

This situation is constantly played out in Singapore families and this tale allows both parents and children to think through and find a collective solution. There is no guided answer for this situation - thus it forces both parties to come to terms with the problem.

Good work!
