Summary
In this chapter we outline how an emotion coaching approach to working with parents can be used in child and adolescent mental health work. In particular, we describe the theory and empirical research in relation to parent emotion socialization (i.e., parent emotion regulation, reactions to children’s emotions and emotion coaching) and how we have used this theory in an evidence-based intervention called Tuning in to Kids (TIK). Then, using our TIK approach to teaching emotion coaching, we provide detail about how components or steps of emotion coaching can be used in clinical work, explore barriers and challenges that are often encountered in using these and outline a case study to illustrate the main principles. A discussion is also included about addressing the emotion competence of parents in a parallel process that is important to include alongside the parenting skills. Lastly, we discuss how factors within both the clinician and the service system contribute to effective application of this emotion-focused approach to parenting intervention.
