THE HARRISON FAMILY

"We have two boys who experience BIG emotions. Finding ways to connect and deescalate when those emotions are running rampant was our biggest challenge before going through the Becoming Your Child's Emotion Coach training.

We often felt helpless and brokenhearted trying to connect or discipline through the turbulence. 

After going through the training we now have the tools to ask questions, provide empathy, and share experiences. We know how to relate to our kids at a soul level and get into their heart and mind to truly understand what they are experiencing. Our kids are now able to articulate what they are feeling in very specific terms, which makes our job easier! 

The very night after attending the training, we were able to affirm our child’s emotions, offer empathy, and literally watch his demeanor change before our eyes when he realized he was being understood. 

Jeremy and Mary Jean are incredible instructors. Parenting challenges can be a vulnerable topic, but they are relatable and open with their own challenges, providing a safe environment.

If you are on the fence about enrolling in this course, do it! You will never regret those moments when you connect with your kid at a deep soul level…and they won’t forget it either. So. Worth. It." 

THE HOLMES FAMILY

"Before going through Becoming Your Child’s Emotion Coach my biggest challenge was always feeling like my parenting was a step behind. I was constantly trying to correct the bad behavior with threats, punishments, or bribes, leaving me frustrated and discouraged. I realized that I had been going about parenting in a more negative tone than positive. This made me feel nervous and a bit scared.

In the emotion coaching training, I learned some great techniques for being more intentional with my kids. I gained confidence in my ability to take time and speak with my children in a calm way. I also learned to get in better touch with their behaviors and emotions. I now have the tools in my toolbox to get down on their level and show them that I care about their feelings. By recognizing the “thing” behind the “thing” I am more clearly able to identify and relate to each child’s emotions.

When my oldest son gets worked up about homework and wants to completely shut down, I now see it as an opportunity to identify with the emotion and walk him through the challenge. I get down on his level and acknowledge his feelings of inadequacy and inability to do something right by himself. By acknowledging and identifying his emotions, I am able to calm him down and move forward by being intentional and showing him that I care and am here for him always.

If you are on the fence about this course let me tell you I was completely unsure (almost unwilling) to admit that I needed “emotion coaching”. After giving this a shot, I can honestly tell you that my relationship with my children is growing and their behaviors are being molded and shaped to be more respectful and loving. I am so thankful that I gave this a chance and I look forward to being more intentional each day so that I can be a better parent and connect with them."
