Emotion Coaching for Parents and Caregivers – July 2021
Flyer: Emotion Coaching 4 Parents-caregivers-July-2021
The pandemic has increased stress for children and youth – and this has challenged the caregivers who support them.
In response, Hamilton-Wentworth District School Board (HWDSB), Hamilton-Wentworth Catholic District School Board (HWCDSB) and the Hamilton Family Health Team (HFHT) invite caregivers to explore Emotion Coaching in a series of 90-minute webinars and/or a four-week parent/caregiver group.
WHAT IS EMOTION COACHING?
Emotion Coaching is a communication strategy that can calm the brain in as little as 60 seconds, and help improve relationships. Emotion Coaching has two steps:
VALIDATION: Letting someone know we want to understand why they feel, think or act a certain way.
SUPPORT: Then, we provide emotional and practical support using strategies like reassurance, limit-setting, redirecting, collaborative problem-solving, teaching skills, etc.
