emotion coaching for kiddos

I read this artical for my Infant Development class. I thought it was really interesting. I need to do this more with my kiddos, and I think it's great advice. I usually do part of it, but it's usually not at the right time, and I don't follow through with a solution, or I'll jump to the solution without identifiying the problem first. I would deffinetly consider the book that is suggested. (Raising an Emotionally Intelligent Child, Gottman) Has anyone read this book or worked on this type of parenting style? How did it go?
