Emotion coaching is a relational technique that draws from attachment theory, highlighting the importance of secure emotional bonds between parents and children for healthy development. It aligns with the idea that a child's emotional experiences and how those emotions are handled by caregivers significantly impact their long-term well-being. 

Emotion coaching involves validating and guiding emotions, helping children and young people to understand and manage their feelings. Its main benefits include building emotional intelligence, developing social skills, nurturing a stronger parent-child connection, and facilitating positive behaviour regulation through lifelong coping tools.
