Parents who belittle or invalidate their children's emotions-"There's no reason for you to be sad"-or show little interest in how the child is feeling-"Don't worry about it; go watch TV"-are not teaching children how to regulate their emotions either. Adolescents who experience this type of emotional invalidation show higher levels of emotional dysregulation and more internalizing and externalizing problems (Buckholdt et al., 2014). Parents who fight in front of their children are also failing to provide help with emotion regulation. Children exposed to high levels of domestic violence have more trouble regulating their emotions (Katz et al, 2007); however, if parents can constructively settle their disputes, children are less likely to have problems regulating their emotions (Cummings & Davies, 2010). Parents can actively coach their children and give them lessons that help them understand and regulate their emotions. According to psychologist John Gottman, even concerned, warm, and involved parents sometimes have attitudes toward their own and their children's emotions that get in the way of their being able to talk to their children. These parents need to channel their caring into basic coaching skills. In his book, The Heart of Parenting: Raising an Emotionally Intelligent Child, Gottman identified five aspects of parenting that constitute emotion coaching (Gottman & DeClaire, 1997): Need Assignment Help?
