What is Emotion Coaching?

Emotion Coaching enables children and young people to manage their own behaviour through helping them to understand the different emotions they experience, why they occur, and how to handle them. It enables us to potentially diffuse and de-escalate situations by activating changes in the child’s neurological system and allowing the child to calm down, physiologically and psychologically.
