Emotions are gaining a prominent place across HWDSB, thanks to training on a communication strategy that can calm the brain in as little as 60 seconds and helps to improve relationships.
Emotion Coaching is a two-step process that includes:
-Validation, which involves an acknowledgement of another’s experience, point of view, thoughts, emotions or behaviours by letting someone know we are trying to understand their experience
-Support, in which an individual provides emotional and practical support using strategies such as reassurance, teaching coping skills, limit-setting, redirecting, collaborative problem solving etc.
