“I’m a little in awe of this program. I don’t think I’ve ever enjoyed more, or believed more, in a program than I do with Tuning in to Teens®. The training solidified my commitment to this delivery, and the supervision reinforces confidence and keeps us on the right path.”

“One of the main things I love about teaching Tuning in to Kids® is when I can witness parents beginning to realise how this impacts their own relational skills with others and how their level of emotional capacity is important. Often we see families arriving thinking their child has a problem and at the end of the program we can see them mentally shift towards more empathic curiosity and openness which has a such a positive influence on all the family.”

“Learning how to apply the emotion coaching approach with parents was very beneficial for me. Discussing case examples and exploring emotion labeling and perspective-taking from a child’s view were particularly insightful.”

“I found everything in this training useful. The interactive approach was particularly great, as it allowed individuals to reflect on their own experiences, making it more engaging and meaningful.”
Facilitator
