Emotion Coaching for Proffesionals

---

Emotion Coaching is an approach that helps children express and understand their feelings and opinions about a different life experience (e.g.: medical). 

Adults working with children can find ways to provide guidance in case of especially destructive life experience and support them by communication with empathy through emotion coaching.

 Verbalizing and approving the emotions caused by the situation that a child experiences helps building trust in the adult who guides her/him. Defining the feeling of a frightened, angry or worried child triggers the changes in her/his neurological system and calms her/his down physiologically and psychologically.

Emotion coaching is a way that can be followed by all adults who interact with children because emotion coaching:

• is a universal and sustainable approach and can be adapted to the exiting system of an organization. 
• is an integrated approach rather than a program that must be followed.
• the focus of which is the natural communication between adults and children. 
• improves the quality of adult-child relationships.
• is instantaneous and focuses on the emotion that is felt. 
• is simple and feasible.
