How do you develop your child's EQ?

Hi, I believe that everyone's problems is his own and no one can have even an iota of idea how it would feel to be in someone else's place, so when my kid goes through something, I have and she has no choice than to bear it. But what I do is, I nurture her emotional strength. I tell her that it is part of life and the way she has handled the situation is brilliant. I applaud her each time when she falls and gets on her feet, and even if it happens after many drops of tears rolling down her cheek.
