Emotion Coaching with Children and Young People in Schools: Promoting Positive Behavior, Wellbeing and Resilience

by Louise Gilbert, Licette Gus (Contributor), Janet Rose (Contributor)

Emotion Coaching (EC) is a universal communication strategy which supports children and young people to self-regulate and manage their stress responses. Originally noticed as an effective way parents communicated with their children around challenging behaviours, Emotion Coaching has been shown to be highly successful in educational settings too. This is why the authors pioneered the research and application of Emotion Coaching into UK (primary and secondary) schools and community settings.

The book includes straightforward descriptions and practical tips, with signposting to resources, case studies and vignettes to illustrate its practical application in educational settings. It supports adults to promote empathetic responses to challenging behaviours and situations, helping children and young people to understand their emotions and learn to manage them and their behavior in the longer-term.

This took me a while to read but not because it wasn’t good! It was! So much to learn from this book. Thought provoking for sure.

Really good accessible summary
I would have liked a quiz for adults to identify their emotion beliefs

Really informative and thought provoking. Lots to unpack and apply to teaching and pastoral care of children. Felt a bit dragged out towards the middle though.
