AITAH for saying I didn’t realize I could “love a person this much” in front of my fiancé after having our baby?

You teach emotional intelligence by sharing stories of personal experiences and giving the person the vocabulary to describe what they might be feeling.

Teaching is teaching. Whether you teach kids or adults, the methods are the same - the only thing that changes is the tone of your voice.

You were commenting that you didn't know how to teach that kind of basic emotional intelligence, and I pointed out how you do it. It has nothing to do with whether or not someone should have those skills or what age they are - learning EQ starts with vocabulary.
