Lucy has recorded a session for you to explain Emotion Coaching.
This is a strategy we use at nursery to help young children learn to self-regulate, feel safe and confident.
It’s a way of responding to children’s outbursts of strong emotions, which sometimes presents as challenging behaviour, whilst recognising that all behaviour is communication.
Using an Emotion Coaching response, we empathise and acknowledge feelings but also support children with high guidance to develop the skills they need to regulate themselves and navigate life.
