John Gottman, Ph.D. & Julie Schwartz Gottman, Ph.D – Raising an Emotionally Intelligent Child

Researchers have found that even more than IQ, your emotional awareness and ability to handle feelings will determine your success and happiness in all walks of life, including family relationships.  Good parenting begins in the heart, and then continues on a moment-to-moment basis by engaging children when feelings run high, when they are sad, angry, or scared. The heart of parenting or working with children in a clinical setting is being there in a particular way when it really counts.  This talk explains how to teach children to understand and regulate their emotional world. Throughout this talk, the Gottmans explain to listeners the five-steps of the “emotion coaching” process. This talk is based upon Dr. Gottman’s globally influential book, Raising an Emotionally Intelligent Child: The Heart of Parenting.

• Discuss the five-steps of the “emotion coaching” process.
