In this insightful wellbeing video, Mrs Chavasse and Mr Antonious explore the power of emotional coaching and offer practical guidance for supporting children when they experience big feelings. Together, they walk through key strategies to help adults respond calmly and effectively, enabling children to better understand and regulate their emotions.
The video introduces helpful tools and approaches, including recommended stories, the Treasure Deck, and the RULER model of emotional intelligence—encouraging children to recognise, understand, label, express, and regulate their feelings. Central to the discussion is the importance of being curious, patient, and empathetic: taking time to validate a child’s emotions before applying logic and problem-solving.
