  • Summary

    This chapter examines interventions that focus on parent emotion regulation (ER). Emotions, their function, the different pathways via which emotions are generated, and the role of ER are all briefly introduced to provide the context for the way interventions efforts are considered in the chapter. Interventions that focus on ER in adults drawn from different theoretical perspectives are examined in order to review key common effective components. This is followed by a review of approaches to parent ER used in parenting interventions. We then outline how our own Tuning in to Kids suite of parenting programs targets parent ER. This includes a focus on building parent emotion awareness; promoting insight into parent’s meta-emotion beliefs (how they feel about emotions) and the impact of family of origin experiences on how parents react to emotions; teaching parents proactive, top-down, and bottom-up ER strategies; and how a focus on learning emotion coaching with their children has the added bonus of often enhancing parent ER.
