Emotion Coaching: An Essential Part of Your Parenting Toolbox!

Emotion coaching helps parents guide their children through strong emotions and life's challenges.

Emotion coaching helps parents guide their children through life's ups and downs in a way that builds confidence, resilience and strong relationships. Developed by Dr. John Gottman, author of Raising an Emotionally Intelligent Child, this process helps your child learn how emotions work and how to behave in healthy ways when feelings are strong-skills that help them thrive socially and academically.

The Gottman Institute has come up with some very basic formulas, based on studying families who were successful, to build emotional intelligence in children. This means helping children understand their emotions by recognizing what they are feeling, and why. To do this well, parents need to teach their kids to manage feelings in a positive way so that they can eventually regulate their own behavior.

In this course, we follow the research of the Gottmans and then put that information into practice and skill building. Though developing emotional intelligence is a lifelong journey, children with parents who Emotion Coach do better in school, have more friends, and tend to lead happy, productive, and self-managed lives as adults.

This course will give you the tools needed to become an emotionally responsive parent, and in turn, will help you create emotionally intelligent children.

What You Will Learn:

  • The importance of emotions and what role they play in our daily life

  • How to recognize, respond to, and validate what your child is feeling

  • How to be an effective emotion coach using the 5 Steps of Emotion Coaching with children of any age

The Emotion Coaching Parenting Style involves five basic steps, all of which are described in this course. Becoming an emotion coach is do-able for all parents.

Emotion Coaching does not mean teaching a child that there is only way to react to a particular situation. It means listening to a child, empathizing, and then helping them to choose a response to a particular situation.

By nature, children are emotional beings. They need the opportunity to understand and explore the full range of human expression.

As a parent, the task of satisfying a child's emotional needs can feel monumental.

Parents may agree that emotional development is both relevant and important, but they may not know how to ensure that their child develops with a range of emotions.
