The Research Behind Emotion Coaching Boot Camp

Pressures Of Parenting

When Dr. Gottman began his research with children, exploring and identifying the best methods for raising an emotionally intelligent child, most of the psychological literature available on parenting was restricted to the managing of a child’s misbehavior. The common notion that “children are our future” puts a lot of pressure on parents to do their best with their kids, but unfortunately buying a veritable library of parenting books is often not the best idea.

Understanding The Source: Emotions

Drs. John and Julie Gottman
Many books on parenting seem to take a great deal of “evidence” from popular myths, common misconceptions and personal anecdotes. Recognizing the limitations of this narrow perspective, Dr. Gottman undertook a variety of scientific studies, which led him to the conclusion that the key to good parenting lies in understanding the emotional source of problematic behavior.
