10/12/2026 – Sutton Virtual School: Emotion Coaching

Emotion Coaching: Supporting Children Through Connection and Understanding

Join us for this supportive in-person session introducing emotion coaching, a practical and nurturing approach to helping children understand and manage their feelings.

Designed for adoptive parents, foster carers, kinship carers, and residential staff, this session will explore how to respond to behaviour with empathy, curiosity, and clear boundaries—helping children feel understood while learning to regulate their emotions.

We’ll cover:

• What emotion coaching is and why it matters
• How to recognise and respond to children’s emotional needs
• Simple, realistic strategies you can use at home

This is a relaxed and welcoming space to reflect, share experiences, and build confidence in approaches that support both connection and behaviour.

Come along to develop practical tools that can make everyday interactions feel more manageable and meaningful.
