A parenting program that focuses on emotions and is designed to assist parents to establish better relationships with their children and adolescents, ages 10-18. The program is based on the Tuning in to Kids® parenting program. It teaches parents emotion coaching skills, as well as ways of responding to their young person in a way that helps maintain a connected relationship. When children/adolescents are emotional, parents learn to notice the emotion, name it, show empathy, and then wait for the emotion to subside before trying to talk about the situation leading to the emotional experience and or what to do about it. The program emphasizes connecting and calming before talking about what to do next: this is critical to the success of this process. The program aims to prevent problems developing in adolescents, promote emotional competence (in parents and youth), and when present, reduce and treat problems with child’s/adolescent’s emotional and behavioral functioning.
