This two-day programme provides practitioners with the tools to master Emotion Coaching. By focusing on the emotional drivers behind behaviour, professionals can foster stronger connections and improve long-term outcomes for children and young people.

​

Core Training Pillars

  •  Meta-Emotion Mastery: Understand your own "feelings about feeling". By recognising your emotional history, you can manage professional triggers and remain calm during high- stress interactions.

  • The Thinking Brain (Prefrontal Cortex): When a young person feels validated, their "thinking brain" comes back online. This makes them more capable of following rules, solving problems, and working effectively as part of a team.

  • Collaborative Problem Solving: Once an individual feels "heard", the emotional peak passes. We provide the skills to move from de-escalation into practical, effective solutions.

Tuning in to Kids® helps you understand your child’s inner world. Instead of simply reacting to difficult behaviour, you will learn to see these moments as an opportunity for connection and teaching.

What You Will Learn

  • Understanding Your Own Feelings: We explore how our own upbringing influences how we react to our children's emotions today.

  • Recognising Subtle Cues: You will gain the tools to spot small emotional shifts before they escalate into a crisis.

  • Validating the Feeling: You will learn how to help your child feel understood, which is the quickest way to help them calm down and find their balance.

Benefits for Children

  • Children with higher Emotional Intelligence- developed through your coaching- tend to:

  • Have greater success with friendships and manage playground conflicts more effectively.

  • Succeed academically due to improved concentration and focus.

  • Self-soothe more reliably when they are angry, upset, or disappointed.

  • Stay healthier, with fewer minor childhood illnesses.

  • Achieve greater career success in adulthood, research suggests EQ can be a better predictor of success than IQ!

Whether you feel your setting would benefit from a Tuning into Kids programme or you are a parent or carer looking to develop the skills to support your child’s emotional growth, we would love to hear from you. These sessions offer a fantastic opportunity to build confidence and strengthen connections through "emotion coaching."

In addition to our standard programme, we also deliver a specialised Tuning into Kids Activity Workshop for Early Years, specifically designed to engage younger children through play-based emotional learning. Please get in touch today to express your interest, and be sure to watch this space for our upcoming course dates!
