EMOTION COACHING
Promoting Positive Behaviour, Wellbeing and Resilience
Based on research by American Psychologist John Gottman, Emotion Coaching uses moments of heightened emotion and resulting behaviour to guide and teach the child and young person about more effective responses. Through empathetic engagement the child's emotional state is verbally acknowledged and validated, promoting a sense of security and feeling 'felt'. This activates changes in the child's neurological system and allows the child to calm down, physiologically and psychologically. Emotion Coaching has been shown to be highly successful in schools (primary and secondary) and community settings. Each training course covers the following:
- Critical overview of recent neuroscientific evidence on how best to support children and young people’s self-regulation
- Insights into the stress-response and social engagement systems, attachment and the foundations for emotional regulation, positive behaviour and well-being
- Research for evidence-based Emotion Coaching practice
- Practical exercises and skill development in Emotion Coaching techniques

Answers to questions teachers and schools are afraid to ask
Communicating with parents is a challenging and stressful task teachers and principals face on a daily basis. Whether trying to engage an avoidant parent or handle a complaint, it is essential to know how to initiate contact, handle difficult situations, establish positive relationships, recognise when a parent is right, stop problems before they escalate to the main office and never let ‘em see you sweat. But dealing with parents, often leaves teachers and schools feeling out of their depth or on the back foot. Dynamic, insightful and practical this is must do training for graduates to old school teachers wanting to know how to deal with sticky situations they don’t teach in college/ uni.
