Does your child need help with their emotions?

When you think your child is angry or anxious, are you sure that is what they are really feeling? Children experience complex emotions like adults but often don’t have the words to understand or express what they are feeling. Often these strong emotions emerge as challenging behaviour. Ollie Coaching, an award-winning approach for schools, parents and teachers, can help give your children the tools to help them cope, develop resilience and change unhelpful behaviour with one to one coaching or dedicated school programmes.
