Why we recommend it

Gottman's evidence-based guide to emotion coaching — validated in parenting research and widely endorsed by psychologists.

Gottman's 'emotion coaching' approach teaches parents to meet feelings before behaviour. It aligns closely with how we coach parents of dysregulated children.

Best for: Parents who want to teach their children emotional literacy using Gottman's research-backed emotion-coaching framework.
