Key takeaways from the episode include: Relational intelligence (RQ) is a critical skill that is becoming increasingly important in a world dominated by artificial intelligence. RQ is developed through early childhood experiences, particularly through interactions with parents and caregivers. Parents can foster RQ in their children by being present and engaged with them, and by providing opportunities for unstructured play.
