Every parent wants to equip their child with the social and emotional skills needed to succeed in school and in life. In this 90-minute community talk to parents, Dr. Gottman reveals how successful parents use emotion coaching with their children. Learning these skills helps kids enjoy increased self-confidence, greater physical health, improved school performance, and healthier social relationships. After listening to this talk, parents will understand how to be "emotion coaches" by:
Being aware of a child's emotions
Using emotional expression as an opportunity for intimacy and teaching
Listening and verbalizing their child's feelings
Labeling emotions in words a child can understand
Helping their child to problem-solve
