How Emotionally Intelligent Are You as a Parent?

Take the Conscious Care Cards self-check quiz.

Emotional intelligence isn’t about being calm all the time or getting parenting “right.” It’s about awareness, repair, and compassion — especially on the hard days.


In this short video, Conscious Care Cards founder Karen Green, MSW, LSSW invites parents to take a simple emotional intelligence self-check. Through 10 reflective questions, you’ll explore how you name your emotions, regulate overwhelm, repair after disconnection, and extend compassion to yourself in the same way you do to your child.

There’s no scoring, no judgment, and no perfection required — just honest awareness. Because becoming a conscious caregiver starts with understanding your own inner world.


If this self-check stirred something in you, that’s the work — and you don’t have to do it alone.

Conscious Care Cards are designed to help parents build emotional intelligence in real life, through small, screen-free moments that strengthen regulation, repair, and connection with your child and yourself.
