Introduction

Emosi which means  ‘Emotion’  is our new therapeutic service developed here at Ellesmere Childrens Centre.  Emosi believes that children should be supported and encouraged from their earliest foundations to  be confident, resilient healthy holistic individuals.  Developing emotional literacy which supports children to make the connections between actions and describe what they are feeling in simple words that have meaning for them. As a ‘Emosi’ coach our work is to regulate the effects of varying feelings, rather than a system of behaviour modification. All behaviours we feel are linked to communication and children vocalising their world. Emosi is a place to transition through developmental stages at their own pace, in a  space to facilitate healthy, nurtured minds. Emosi  recognises that children's home lives are strong influences on their learning and is central to ways of being, knowing and doing. Emosi coaches will work in partnership with families and can effectively utilise children's family and cultural knowledge in an educational context to enhance children learning.
