EMOTION COACHING

Children have big feelings. But we can help them learn to identify, communicate about, and cope with these big feelings by being emotion coaches.

In this class, we examine the research on children's emotions, then we put the information into practice through role-playing and skill building. Caregivers leave the class knowing how to teach their kids to manage feelings in a positive way, helping children to regulate their own behavior.   
​
Emotion coaching helps develop children's emotional intelligence, which relates to: 
  • Higher academic achievement
  • Better impulse control, delayed gratification
  • Fewer infectious illnesses
  • Less whining
  • Reduced effects of divorce 


​What people are saying: 

"If you have a child or children with BIG feelings, this class is highly worth 2 hours of your life. We’ve already started implementing these tools and resources and saw what could have been a massive meltdown this morning turn into something much less."
