What is Tuning In To Kids?

It is a parenting program that helps children develop social-emotional competence through positive interactions with their parents.

What is Social-Emotional Competence?

It is the capacity to recognize, understand and manage your own emotions as well as the emotions of others in a respectful manner thereby promoting positive social interactions.

Why is Social-Emotional Competence Important in Children?

Social-emotional competence is important because it promotes positive coping strategies that enables the child to cope with challenging situations in an effective manner. Studies have shown that it is also a protective factor towards wellbeing.

Does Social-Emotional Competence Develop Naturally?

Current research indicates that a child’s level of social-emotional competence is primarily influenced by:

* Parent’s expression and regulation of their emotions

* Parent’s reaction to their child’s emotions

* Family discussions about emotions

* Parent’s capacity to empathize and validate feelings.

* Parent’s capacity to regulate their emotions across various contexts.

What are the Benefit for Children Who are Social-Emotionally Competent?

Children with strong social-emotional competence are more capable of:

* Becoming independent thinkers

* Becoming compassionate and caring

* Establishing their own value system

* Relating well to others

* Developing self-confidences & self-esteem

How can I help my child develop social-emotional competence?

You may help your child through Emotion Coaching.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! The course has helped me understand my child's behaviours, because I now recognise that they are driven by their emotions.
I found the steps and tools presented to help me understand the difference between behaviour and emotions helped me then/now to deal with my children's behaviour through recognising their emotions.

Would love some sort of follow up session after 6 months to discuss our experience and ask questions. Wonderful program! Thank you, Faye! Really appreciate the school offering program.
Learning about emotion coaching. Hearing about what normal for teenagers. Learning about being a consultant vs. manager.

I was given the tools to handle 'normal' teenage behaviour and we have a much happier teenager. Faye personally offered her own examples which made us all relate.

Faye's way of explaining the ideas and examples given / videos watched, etc., were all helpful. It became easier as we learnt more as the weeks went on. I changed my way of thinking. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to do this program!
