The ability to recognize and understand your own emotions is a critical part of emotional development. For many children this can be quite the learning process, and it often takes a lot of teaching, practice, and patience from the adult. In this presentation we will discuss the importance of emotional intelligence and how we can develop those skills through emotion coaching, as well as the practical tools and strategies to support those big emotions.
