Parent Coaching and Consultation
Effective parenting requires love and commitment.
As parents, you want to know that your greatest asset is the love and commitment you show your children. You strive to do your best at work and with friends and family, and you generally feel good about yourself. But parenting is challenging, and right now, it’s overwhelming.
Every child’s personality, temperament, and needs are different. Dealing with each child’s needs while adjusting to their differences is difficult for any parent. It’s like being a coach without a play manual on how to get the best from everyone.
At this point, receiving some coaching and a playbook might make parenting easier. The question is, how do you find such coaching?
Life Coaching is strengths-based. One of your strengths is your commitment to being an effective parent and helping your child.
Building on your strengths is the key to Parent Coaching.
With over 25+ years of experience, parents have come to me for various reasons. Your child is having temper tantrums at home or school. Your teen is becoming increasingly argumentative or quite the opposite and withdrawn. Knowing how to communicate with your kids is hard, and you want a better relationship.
With coaching, we can work on communication skills. I can coach you so that you can feel more confident in your parenting and build a positive and loving relationship with your child.
Perhaps your child is suffering from chronic pain or a medically complex condition or disease. Communication with medical systems and providers has been confusing. As a parental coach, I can help you ask questions essential to your child receiving adequate care.
There may be challenges at school. It’s hard for your child to perform academically or socially. We can work on advocacy, whether it’s a conversation regarding a particular topic or a need for more services, which may involve a 504 or IEP. However, coaching does not include a mental health diagnosis or focusing on your past, but I can coach you to prepare for this process.
Coaching can make a difference!
We will focus on the here and now. With curiosity and strategy, I will help you be the kind of parent you want to be.
Cultural humility and genuine curiosity are important.
Don’t continue to struggle with meeting your child’s needs. Coaching can make a difference.
