My partner and I really want to use emotion coaching as our parenting style. Our issue with it is, Gottman does not give specifics for different age groups. For example our twins are 2 years and 7 months. What is a good way to "emotion coach" a crying child (twins mind you! that means that it is probably two crying kids!) I have difficulty in finding an effective way to get them to bring out their emotions then find a way to problem solve. I am hoping to hear from anyone who has read Gottman and understands how to effectivly implement emotion coaching for a two year old. It seems like I just am completely ineffective.
Please help! |
