Our Vision
We strive to equip children with understanding about their emotions, develop a thankful heart, renew their minds, build emotional literacy, empathy, good character and emotional intelligence.
Meet the Founders
Kids Emotional Intelligence was co-founded by Jessica Chao and Dr. Gilkrist Ewe. They both share a vision of fostering emotional intelligence in children while simultaneously nurturing their confidence and courage.
As Jessica encountered many parents and children struggling to regulate their emotions and behaviour, she realised that emotional intelligence is developed from a very young age, and there was an urgent need to address this issue. Jessica founded Kids Emotional Intelligence to introduce children to common emotions, to cultivate a heart of gratitude, and to assist children in renewing their minds. Jessica aims to empower children with the necessary tools to navigate their emotions and build strong character from a young age. Importantly, she desires to equip them with understanding on how to manage their emotions, support them in character building and have emotionally intelligent conversations about their feelings.
Dr. Gilkrist Ewe is a pediatrician dedicated to empowering the next generation to reach their full potential. He raises awareness and educates on current issues through his writings, offering practical advice for parents, educators, and those working with children. Leveraging his expertise as a medical specialist and researcher, he shares the latest information to the public. Additionally, he expresses his creativity by writing poetry and children’s stories.
Emotional Development Toolkit
These resources are available to families, schools, carers and any profession that takes care of children’s well-being.
“It is my joy to be able to create this resource for families, schools, carers and any profession who would be interested in teaching children emotional intelligence. Kids Emotional Intelligence has been created from my life journey and parenting. It was intended to be a gift for my beloved child, who has been my inspiration to create these posters since she was a baby. Hence, every word has been thoroughly considered with care to communicate love and every image has been lovingly crafted with gentleness. I am pleased to help kids build emotional literacy, emotional regulation, emotional intelligence, courage and confidence in their journey.”
