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.

​
