PARENTING COACHING & WORKSHOP
Connect with Your Child & Teens through Emotion Coaching
Are you struggling with your child's emotional outbursts
and teen's disrespectful behaviour?
Is your child/teen having behavioural issues
and unable to focus in school?
You are so frustrated and
wondering why the carrot and the stick method is not working.
Emotion Coaching parenting is about helping you to Connect and Empathise with your child first before teaching and guiding. With the bond, they will be more willing to share with you their feelings and issues and you could guide them through problem solving.
Based on the book by Dr. John Gottman "Raising an Emotionally Intelligent Child", we will use the principles and methods from Dr. Gottman to help you connect with your child to resolve conflicts without escalating your own emotions.

Father’s Crucial Role
“Parenting shouldn’t be simply raising obedient and compliant child but much more”
~ Dr John Gottman
"When little people are overwhelmed by big emotions, it's our job to share our calm, not join their choas."
~ L.R. Knost
