Tuning In To Kids | Home

What parents are saying

‘I felt there has been a free flow of information from my child — there is more willingness to discuss things that have happened during the day, both good and bad, happy and sad etc.’

‘The idea of emotion coaching was easy to understand, but felt very strange doing it at first’

‘The entire family is now more conscious of their own and other’s feelings/emotions.’

What is Tuning In To Kids?

Tuning in to Kids is a 6-session group parenting program that helps children learn to understand and regulate their emotions. It teaches parents:

awareness and regulation of their own emotions
awareness of their children’s emotions
to use children’s emotional experiences as an opportunity for closeness and teaching
skills in assisting children to verbally label and manage their emotions
skills in assisting children in problem solving
to guide children’s behaviour with appropriate limits
The research evaluation of Tuning in to Kids found that when parents learned these parenting skills, this was related to improvements in children’s emotional competence, social skills and behaviour. For children with behaviour or anxiety problems, the program was particularly effective.

The ideas and techniques taught in the program are useful for parents of children of all ages, but are particularly relevant for parents of preschoolers.
