Robert Diaconeasa

aka DADDY COOl

Emotional intelligence in children for all parents.
He is a journalist, television personality and communication expert with 19 years of experience in the media industry. His online and offline activity focuses a lot around his family, with whom he is involved in many projects based on education. That we are talking about reading, about responsibility towards the environment, about charitable actions for children from disadvantaged backgrounds, Robert is a benchmark in the industry, his projects having a real positive impact for more than 10,000 children in Romania. She loves children and emphasizes their emotional intelligence, starting from the needs of her own children, going all the way to those from all over Romania, whom she wants to teach how important it is to identify their emotions, understand them, give them a course and to use them to become their best version. He believes that an emotionally developed child has greater chances to follow his dreams, to have the courage to try and succeed in whatever he sets his mind to, that is why he is the co-founder of the motivational tour "The Hero in You", which combines music, dance, acrobatics , theater and magic, in a unique show in Romania, meant to give momentum to all children in Romania who have enormous potential, but for whom no one opens their wings. He himself will tell us about all his projects, the way he involves his own children in charitable actions, which develop their empathy and personality, but also how he manages to get involved in so many, while being a very involved father at the same time. From the position of OM and parent, "expert" in intuition and attention to children's needs. No one is perfect, so allow yourself to be part of their vulnerability while you are invited to share yours. 🙂
