Social intelligence!
So this really is a set of skills, about how to be aware of the feelings of others and respond to them, you know - having a clue and getting along. It's a skill that supports a lot of the values we attempt to model for our kids, like compassion and generosity.
If I could teach them how to live in the present moment, I would pick that as the one skill. Living in the present leads to peace like nothing else does. But to teach that I'd have to have a fair grasp of it myself, wouldn't I? :-)
