儿童情商培训，真这么神奇？
课程内容都是啥？
情商课上究竟有哪些内容？根据多家记者探访，课程设置其实大同小异，主要包含自我认知、同理心培养、自信提升、情绪管理、挫折抵抗、人际交往、语言沟通、团队协作和领导力训练等。

对于低龄儿童，课程主要以情绪认知、建立安全感等内容为主。包括和父母安然分离、愿意与他人分享等。对于年龄稍大一点的儿童，课程则更偏重于专注度提升、沟通协作和领导力训练。
"Don"t let children fail from the start" is perhaps a Bible verse for many Chinese parents. At a very young age, some children will be sent to attend various training courses, which their parents believe will be good for their future development.
Recently, courses for building the emotional quotient (EQ) of children have become increasing popular in China.
有培训机构表示：“我们的情商培训，就是让孩子认知自我，管理自我。”
然而，当问及培训取得的效果，有培训机构回答道：“效果是无法考量的，它不是语文数学考试能反应在分数上。若效果不好，那也是家长没配合好。”
What can children learn from the EQ courses? According to some training centers" curricula, children will be mainly trained to better manage their emotions, interact with their peers more confidently and become more resilient in the face of setbacks. These training centers also said they would provide courses to help children develop skills of leadership, collaboration and more.
学费每年上万 0岁孩子都能报名
多家情商机构都推出了令人眼花缭乱的课程套餐，甚至0岁儿童都可报名，课程囊括了孩子的婴儿期，并对各个月份大小的婴儿分别设置了不同的情商训练课程。例如，南京大行宫附近的一家情商教育机构，课程覆盖年龄低至9个月婴儿。

而这样的情商课，往往要价不菲，甚至比普通的课外辅导、艺术类培训价格还要高。
现代快报报道，南京大行宫附近某培训机构，0~3 岁一年的情商课收费在万元出头，3~6 岁年龄段的则要近 2 万元。另据澎湃新闻，北京市中关村的某情商培训机构，8个月的课程学费需要近3万元。
除了长期培训课程外，短期夏令营也异常火爆。在北京某互联网创意园区里，一家夏令营机构推出的6天5夜的“学生情商夏令营”，要价在4000元以上。

It seems that quite a lot of people believe the best time to develop a child"s EQ is as early as possible, thus the age of the children attending these courses is probably younger than you think. Some training centers even promote that they have a gamut of EQ lessons for infants.
However, these lessons do not come cheap. The tuition fees for these lessons are much higher than those provided by cram schools or art training centers. For example, an eight-month program at an EQ training center in Beijing will cost parents nearly 30,000 yuan (about 4,300 U.S. dollars).
The cost hasn"t deterred parents; in fact it"s done the opposite and many summer camps on EQ building have sprung up in recent years, and their attendees are mainly primary school pupils.
家长褒贬不一 课程内容遭质疑
“孩子想当班长当不上”、性格内向不会交朋友、淘气不听话、注意力不集中……来报名的家长，理由往往五花八门，然而，收到的效果却褒贬不一。
“等孩子上完情绪管理的课后，就不会再带孩子来了”，有家长对中新网记者表示。除了反思自己是否在拔苗助长之外，培训班的师资水平和授课内容也让她心生疑虑。
Parents are waiting outside
毕竟情商并没有统一标准，而市场也才刚刚兴起，什么是正确的情绪管理方式，怎么教，应该教什么？家长和培训机构都在摸着石头过河。
另有家长表示，半年要价近万的自信培养课，内容就是老师点名站起来讲故事，要么做角色扮演。他甚至觉得，这些内容自己带着孩子去公园溜达也能学会。
不过，也有家长表示，上了情商课后，孩子变化挺大，“以前孩子不太爱说话，有些内向，现在活泼开朗了不少，还交了不少朋友。”
However, these EQ training courses have also received mixed reviews and caused controversy.
Some parents appreciate the courses for improving their children"s poor social skills, while others question the curriculum set and criterion, the teaching content and methods, as well as the qualification of the teachers at the EQ training centers.
网友热议：家长在交智商税？
儿童情商培训还引来了外界关注，不少网友甚至犀利表示：儿童情商课？家长确定不是在交智商税？？
网友们的争论焦点集中在，过早磨灭孩子真性情，教导孩子各种世故圆滑的“套路”，是否真的可取？
不少人认为，从小接受情商教育，一定程度上也许有助于孩子融入社会，但小小年纪就让孩子“修炼人情往来的操纵术”，让孩子过早懂得“察言观色”，这种早熟导向，对于孩子的成长或许更为不利。
The EQ courses have also sparked heated online discussion, with a lot of netizens thinking that there"s no particular reason for parents to send their children to such courses.
Many doubted whether these courses were really conducive for children"s development or not. Some also commented that the EQ training might teach children the basics of social etiquette and make them be more socially adjusted, but it to some extent also brought pressure to them and pushed them to grow up too fast.
