Tuning in to Kids®

Promising Potential’s Tracy Shepherd is a facilitator of the Tuning in to Kids® and Tuning in to Teens® six-session emotionally intelligent parenting program that teaches adults how to use emotion coaching to interact with children aged between 3 and 12 year and teens aged between 10 and 18 years respectively. The program supports those in parenting or teaching roles to develop an emotional connection that helps children / teens learn about emotions, fosters their ability to understand and regulate emotions. You will learn how to become more aware of your children’s / teens’ emotions and teach them skills to respond to these in a way that promotes their emotional intelligence and capacity to deal with challenging issues that arise. Children with higher emotional intelligence:

• have greater success with making and keeping friends

• have better concentration at school

• are more able to calm down when upset or angry

• tend to have fewer childhood illnesses

Teens with higher emotional intelligence:

• are more aware, assertive and strong in situations of peer pressure

• have greater success with making friends and are more able to manage conflict with peers

• are more able to cope when upset or angry

• have fewer mental health and substance abuse difficulties

• have more stable and satisfying relationships as adults

• have greater career success

Emotional intelligence may be a better predictor of academic and career success than IQ! If you would like to register an expression of interest for the Tuning in to Kids® or Tuning in to Teens® emotionally intelligent parenting program, please email connect@promisingpotential.com.au:
