Question
"
 dear Mrs,

I am a young Moroccan doctor and during my exercise i have observed that many children(that i love very very very much) have problems in solving problems and problems related to emotional intelligence if we compare them to others at the same age. for this Reason i am thinking about creating a center as a small business for teaching children these skills but there is a problem because i am just a man who is interested in this fields but i have no training about this and there is no available training in my country and the e-learning programs are very expensive for me. for this this reason i am writing to you with the hope to get from advice if i can train my self using books, forums....to get the necessary knowledge to launch my dream business and train others who will work with me.
Thank you very much."

Answer
This is outside my expertise as I am an expert in the field of art for children. None the less, I believe if you have a doctor's degree, you should feel confident to move forward and open your school.

I know nothing about this topic, sorry to say,  and I regret that I cannot direct you as I would wish.

Your idea sounds very worthwhile!
