"Emotion Coaching" for Your Toddlers and Preschool Children
Education 806.2 0.6 CEU Fee: $65
Learn to analyze your child's feelings and teach them to handle conflict. This one-day course helps parents hone their coaching skills to better empathize with children and help them handle turbulent feelings that may otherwise overwhelm them. A toddler's life is tough. One minute your child feels in a fantasyland; the next he/she is crying in rage and tossing toys across the room. Like many parents, you may find it hard to cope with outbursts of anger and frustration, but these occasions actually provide the best opportunities to teach a young child how to manage strong feelings and calm him/herself down. These skills foster the "emotional intelligence" your child needs to create good relationships with adults and other children. Learn how to recognize your child's emotions, look at negative emotions as opportunities for intimacy and teaching, listen carefully and with empathy and then mirror back what the child says, help children find words to express their emotions and encourage them to use words instead of body language, and set limits while teaching problem solving.
