Samantha is a 10-year-old girl who has recently come home very upset from school. She did not do well on a math test, and at lun

Emotion coaching is a strategy used in communication that helps young people deal with their stress and other emotional problems. This communication strategy is used to help them navigate and manage their stress and how they respond to their emotional problems.
Samantha felt after knowing that she's scored low in her Math test and feeling ignored by her friends during lunch is a case of stress in the young girl. So, when her father helped her deal with it by communicating with her and <em>"giving her strategies to help think of her problems in a constructive way"</em> this is an example of emotion coaching.
They could both have a fight like when one tries to break up with another but the other feels really upset and wants to hurt the person saying this. They could just hate each other.
