Tuning Into Kids focuses on strengthening the connection between parents/caregivers and their children through emotion coaching. When children and parents develop skills in effectively communicating emotions, family relationships are stronger. This is done through helping parents better understand and manage their own emotions and through this facilitate healthy emotional communication in the family where children can learn to understand and express emotions adaptively.

The programme looks at emotional Intelligence, meta-emotions, parenting styles and the impact they can have on a child, empathy, tuning into children's emotions, helping children to understand and name emotions and for the parents/caregivers and the child to increase connection. All this helps form a stronger relationship and healthy communication towards managing emotions, trust and the child feeling accepted and heard.
