What is Emotion Coaching?

At Sherwood, we are developing an emotion coaching response with our children to support our children in developing an ability to:

• recognise a range of emotions and recognise these emotions as normal
• understand the different emotions they experience
• self-regulate their emotions
• take ownership of and calm their behaviour
• develop strategies to regulate behaviour in the future

The video below provides an introduction to Emotion Coaching for parents and carers. The first part of the video covers the research that underpins the strategy. From 11 minutes, the emotion coaching sequence is introduced.
