Parent coaching focus: Emotional parenting

Learn how to support social-emotional development in your child from birth to age three.

 

It's so important for parents to help their child learn how to cope with their feelings. Learn how parents are their child's guide in sharing the joys and coping with the challenges, starting on day one. Starting in the earliest months of life, well before they can use words to express themselves, babies have the capacity to experience peaks of joy, excitement, and elation. Babies can also feel fear, grief, sadness, hopelessness, and anger.

 

What can parents do?
