Of vital importance to Keyuri is to teach parents how to build emotional intelligence skills in their children. Research proves that kids who are raised by emotion coaching parents are on a completely different trajectory than those children of other parents. Teachers help kids to pass tests at school and parents are in a prime position to help their kids pass the tests of life. Keyuri Joshi “retired” from nursing to be a stay at home mom. As her only child grew more independent, she turned her passion of supporting others into her profession. She is certified by the ICF (International Coach Federation) as a Life and Parenting Coach, and an Emotional Intelligence Coach. For more about Keyuri see her website www.ontheballparent.com
