Emotion Coaching Kids Part 1: What Not to Do!

Kids and big emotions often go together like peanut butter and jelly. It’s part of the business of childhood and our teen years to figure out how to deal with our emotions. And, as parents we can be a help or a hinderance in that process. It isn’t always intuitive to know how to help kids with emotions—in fact we often want to avoid negative emotions for our kids. This week on the podcast we examine some of the mistakes parents make when responding to kids’ negative emotions.

On the podcast you'll learn:

• Four parenting approaches to kids' negative emotions
• What the impact of each is on kids according to research
• Which one is most successful
