A Guide to Emotion Coaching offers clear, practical support for parents who want to understand and respond to their child’s big feelings with confidence and compassion. Designed to be used alongside The Big Feelings Guide: Activities for Handling Emotions , this book helps you make sense of what is happening beneath your child’s emotional reactions, while the activity book provides child-friendly ways to practise the skills together. Used side by side, one gives you the “why,” and the other gives your child the “how.” This guide begins by helping you unpack your own emotional responses to your child’s feelings, exploring how past experiences and long-held beliefs about emotions can quietly shape the way we react. Throughout the book, you will discover how to tune in to what your child is experiencing, help them name and express their emotions in safe and appropriate ways, and guide them toward deciding what to do with those feelings. You will also explore what lies beneath challenging behaviour, when Emotion Coaching is most effective, and how development and additional needs influence emotional expression. Together, the two books offer a supportive journey for both parent and child. You will build insight and confidence for the everyday struggles, transforming emotional difficulties into opportunities for connection, understanding, and growth.
