🌟 The 4 Steps to Emotion Coaching

1️⃣ Notice & Empathise
Pause and try to understand what your child might be feeling.

2️⃣ Label & Validate
Name the emotion and let them know it makes sense.

3️⃣ Set Expectations
All emotions are okay — not all behaviours are.

4️⃣ Problem Solve
Work together to find a solution.

✨ This approach helps children feel seen, safe, and supported — and builds lifelong emotional skills.

💛 Emotion Coaching is a natural way of relating to children and young people.

Grounded in the research of psychologist John Gottman, Emotion Coaching uses moments of heightened emotion as opportunities for learning, not punishment.

✨ Through empathy and connection, children feel seen, safe, and understood.
✨ This helps them calm both physically and emotionally.
✨ Once calm, they’re better able to reflect, problem-solve, and learn healthier ways to respond.

Emotion Coaching supports children to manage their emotions in themselves and with others building lifelong emotional skills.

🎄 CHRISTMAS & BIG FEELINGS 🎄

December can be magica, land challenging. Excitement, routine changes, and lots of talk about presents can bring up big emotions for children.

Jealousy and disappointment are NORMAL. They don’t mean your child is ungrateful but they’re still learning to manage strong feelings.

🎄 Christmas excitement can bring big feelings, especially jealousy or disappointment around gifts.

Preparing children ahead of time using Emotion Coaching can help them recognise feelings, understand what jealousy is, and learn respectful ways to manage it.

A little preparation now can lead to a calmer, more connected Christmas 💛

🧠 Reflection Question:
How do I support my child when they are disappointed by who is collecting them or by a change in routine?

Do they become upset when they expect one person but someone else arrives? Do they cry, refuse to leave, or hide away?

Do you:
🚶 Give them space instead of rushing in?
🗣️ Acknowledge their feelings with calm, gentle words?
🌳 Use familiar routines or comforting details to help them feel safe again?

🌱 Children can feel powerless when plans change. By validating their emotions, giving them time to process the feelings and assimilate the new information, perhaps offering safe, familiar anchors, we can help children move from fear and disappointment to calm and connection.

✨ Want to grow in responding with empathy and insight?

✨ Be curious, not furious ✨
When kids refuse, there’s usually a reason.

When children refuse or resist, adults often:
😤 Get frustrated
⚡ Rush to fix it
😡 Give the child a punishment or consequence
➡️ These can make things worse!

Instead of reacting…
✨ Stop
✨ Think
✨ Attune
✨Reflect

When we listen, we often hear the real reason:
👟Does not want to wear shoes or keep them on > Shoes are too tight
🚽 Does not want to go to the toilet > Toilet seat is too cold

🌱 Behind “bad/resistant behaviour” there is often a real problem for your child, no matter how BIG or how LITTLE it may seem to you.
💛 Listening helps children feel seen, soothed, safe and supported.
Be curious, not furious! and watch your connection grow.

👂 The Power of Listening 👂

When children are upset, our first instinct is often to fix things or give advice. But sometimes, what children need most is simply to be heard. 💛

Pausing, being curious, and listening instead of trying to solve!

In our latest post, we share stories of Ollie and Rosie. They are small everyday moments that show how listening can transform a child’s experience.

Read our Blog! Link in our Bio or view online from our website!

✨ This week, try listening first. The results might surprise you.

💚 World Mental Health Day – October 10 💚

Children feel BIG emotions — joy, sadness, frustration, worry — just like adults. 🌱

Sometimes, emotions are overwhelming for them, and they need a safe, supportive space to express what they’re feeling.

🧠 What you can do today (and every day!):
- Listen first — hear them without jumping in to fix
- Validate feelings — “I can see that upset you”
- Offer simple coping strategies — take some time, deep breaths, sensory breaks, calm corner
- Model emotional awareness — share your feelings and how you cope

✨ When we help children notice and name their emotions, we give them the tools to self-regulate, feel seen, and build resilience.

Remember: Big feelings are normal. 💚

🧠 What to Say When Your Child Says “NO”

Hearing “no” can feel frustrating, but it’s often a sign your child is overwhelmed, needs more control, or is testing boundaries. Instead of reacting with power struggles, try responding with calm curiosity and connection. 💛

💬 Instead of saying:
🔴 “Don’t talk to me like that!”
🔴 “Do it now or else!”
🔴 “You’re being naughty!”

Try these Emotion Coaching responses instead ⬇️
✨ Save this for when the next big emotion hits, also share it with another parent who gets it 💛

🧠 Weekly Reflection Question:
How do I respond when my child says “no” or refuses to do something?

💭 Do I feel triggered? Do I dig in my heels or stay flexible?
Is their "no" expressing a preference… or a bid for connection?

Do you:
🧏‍♀️ Thinking what feeling might be beneath the “no”?
🫶 Offer limited choices to build cooperation?
🪞 Stay calm and model the regulation you want to see?

🌱 Resistance is often communication and not defiance.
When we stay curious, we can guide with connection, not control. (Remember the 'No" is just the tip of the iceberg)

🎒 Back to School = Big Feelings
September means new classrooms, new teachers, new friends… and sometimes big emotions.

It’s completely normal for children to feel:
-Excited
-Nervous
-Unsure
All at once!

💡 Emotion Coaching Tip:
When your child shares a feeling (even if it’s tricky), pause and listen.

Try using these phrases! By acknowledging and labeling the feeling, you are showing your child it’s safe to talk about emotions, that everyone experiences difficult emotions. Remember feelings are something can worked through together.

✨ Here’s to a September filled with growth, learning, and understanding – both in the classroom and at home.

😩 When your child is screaming, it’s tempting to say “Stop!” — but what they really need is connection, not correction.

Their scream is a signal: “I’m overwhelmed and I need help.”
💡 Try these calm, compassionate responses instead. They will help your child feel seen, safe, and supported.

🧠 Emotion coaching isn’t about fixing the feeling, it’s about guiding your child through it.

🧠 Weekly Reflection Question:
What’s behind my child’s screaming, and how do I usually respond?

💭 Is it from feeling overwhelmed? Frustration? Feeling unheard?
Screaming is loud, but it’s often a call for connection, not conflict.

Do you:
👂 Stay calm and offer a quiet voice in return?
🧸 Gently name the feeling underneath the noise?
🚪 Create space while still staying emotionally available?

🌪️ Screaming might feel chaotic, but underneath is a message:
"I need help managing this big feeling!"
