self-discipline because they start to participate in finding solutions.

Emotion Coaching – A Model For The Prevention Of Mental Health Issues In Children:
Parents have a tremendous opportunity to influence their children’s emotional
development. Specifically, parents can “coach” their child to become aware of their
emotions and associated needs, as well as to regulate their upset feelings more easily.
This workshop will cover a brief introduction to emotion and emotional development,
the problem with emotional avoidance, and the 5-step model of emotion coaching.
Workshop participants will also be provided with specific skills in order to manage the
expression of different emotions in children, including extreme emotional experiences.
