Emotion coaching gives practitioners a simple, evidence-informed way to respond to big feelings: connect with the emotion, then guide the behaviour. This course turns it into an everyday habit that builds children’s self-regulation — the skill that underpins all early learning.

- The science of big feelings and the developing brain, made practical
- The steps of emotion coaching, with early-years-ready scripts
