Abstract
As a human living in this world, we have emotions, which can be good or bad, such as anger. Aristotle's hard challenge is can we be angry with the right person, to the right degree, at the right time, for the right purpose, and in the right way? Then we can answer it correctly if we understand, develop, and enhance emotional intelligence within us. To enhance emotional intelligence in children one of the important tools is storytelling. Because storytelling can help children to cope with life and manage their emotions through the values of life in the story conveyed. The purpose of this study is to describe emotional intelligence, storytelling, and the benefits of storytelling to enhance emotional intelligence. The method used in this study is a qualitative approach to a narrative literature review. The study concluded that emotional intelligence is a very important competency that can be learned and mastered to survive in this 21st century and one powerful tool to enhance emotional intelligence is storytelling. It is necessary to systematically and strategically enhance children’s emotional intelligence through storytelling.
