Emotion Coaching is a relational, skills-based approach for adults to use during moments of heightened emotion and resulting behaviour to guide and teach children and young people about more effective responses.

Research has identified that children who are supported through this strategy are better able to control their impulses and delay gratification, self soothe when upset, have better attentional capacity and increased motivation, perform better academically and are better able to function in social relationships.

This school-friendly programme uses 4 core steps to help develop emotional resilience, empathy and problem solving skills within children and young people. It is also shown to positively impact adult wellbeing.

Participants of this online course will be able to;

• Understand the basic neuroscience of emotional regulation and how the stress-response system operates
• Increase emotional awareness and recognise adults' different styles of responding to emotions in children and young people
• Become familiar with the four steps of emotion coaching and understand how to integrate the principles of this approach into current practice
• Practice and develop a range of practical relationship-building skills and advanced communication strategies that foster wellbeing and promote resilience.
