A Clinical Psychologist lead a refresher session with us on Emotion Coaching at one of our Staff Only Days. Whilst the material was based on Emotion Coaching for parents - it's for all adults showing them the way.
The work is based on the work of Dr John Gottman- you may have across his extensive work on emotions and we won't get into adult relatonships and the '6 lasting marriage predictions'- we will stick with the ' safer' area of parent/ children!
' Emotion Coaching works alongside positive forms of discipline that rely on providing children with clearly understood consequences for misbehaviour"
(Gottman, 1997)

- Permissive
- Dismissive
- Disapproving
- Emotion Coaching
For more detail about each style:
