Delivered by Tamsin Grimmer, this session will consider the role emotion coaching can play in supporting children’s emotional and behavioural wellbeing. 

Children often feel overwhelmed with emotions or dysregulated and do not know how to respond. The adult’s role is to co-regulate their emotions and support them, coaching them through these difficult times. Emotion coaching is a method of co-regulation which responds to children in the moment, empathises with them and offers calm solutions. It is based on the premise that all emotions are acceptable but how we behave when we feel that way may not be. 

Aims and objectives 

  • Support children to understand the different emotions they experience, why they occur and how to handle them; 
  • Consider how Emotion Coaching helps to create nurturing relationships; 
  • Understand how to support children to effectively manage stress; 
  • Consider how emotion coaching strategies can contribute towards children’s development of self-regulation.
