Be your child’s Emotion Coach!
Everyone has emotions — especially children. And what children do with
their emotions is crucial for optimal child development. So, what can
you do when your preschooler or grade-schooler is angry or frustrated?
Do your children know how to label and regulate their feelings?
Find out how to be your child’s Emotion Coach at an Issaquah workshop,
Emotion Coaching, developed by the Talaris and Gottman institutes.
The workshop is taught by Kerry Beymer, a certified Parenting Counts
(Talaris) instructor and Parenting Education/Family Support manager
for Encompass.
In this two-hour workshop, you will (1) learn how to tune into your
child’s feelings and your own, (2) use emotional moments as
opportunities to connect with your child, (3) respect your child’s
feelings by taking time to listen carefully, (4) help your child
identify and name emotions and, best of all, (5) explore solutions to
problems together.
This evidence-based program will improve your communication and
relationship with your child. Sign up now!
