A Stay out of it—let the kids deal with it on their own.B Talk to him and help him figure out ways to get the other

kids to play with him.C Tell him in a kind voice not to cry.D Try to distract the crying boy by showing him some other

things he could play with.

• A = 0, B = 20, C = 0, D = 0

An emotionally intelligent person uses moments of upset as opportunities to act as emotional coach, helping a person to understand what made him or her upset, what the person is feeling, and alternatives he or she can try.
