Inspiring good parents to become great parents!

Parent Coaching is an exciting and innovative new resource for parents looking to improve their parenting, enhance relationships with their children, and add a sense of joy and purpose to the everyday.

A Parent Coach can help if you are:


Feeling Stressed or Guilty
Feeling pulled in all directions
Looking to strengthen your relationship with your children
Finding yourself questioning your parenting decisions
Or, if you are just looking to create a more balanced life

Working with a Parent Coach is a unique, creative way to get support in the day to day raising of your children, enabling your family to thrive.

   

A parent coach helps you identify and evaluate the stresses that may be impacting you and your children.  Beyond merely identifying these issues, a coach can help you discover the positive aspects of your current situation, and assist you in finding new and creative ways to utilize these strengths to bring about the changes you desire.  While many parents hire a coach to help them address a specific issue (like those listed above) the actual goal of coaching is much broader.  Unlike therapy, which deals with uncovering the past, coaching focuses on ‘discovery’ in the present.

A parent coach works with you in a constructive way, encouraging you to discover, examine and redefine your values, both as an individual, and as a family.  You will learn to embrace your unique attributes as a family and how to use these strengths in a positive and productive way.

The coaching process is affirming, supportive and motivating and helps usher in fresh ideas and perspectives on personal challenges.  You will learn to utilize your strengths to overcome obstacles, allowing you to rediscover the inherent joys of parenting.

Parenting can be fun, a lot of fun, but all too often many of us get bogged down in the stresses of our daily life.  We spend so much time worrying if we are “doing it right”, that we don’t stop to enjoy the day-to-day.  Parent coaching is a unique collaborative relationship aimed at helping today’s overstretched parents rediscover a sense of confidence, joy and purpose.  Coaching shifts the focus from “the right way” to parent, to the best way for your family; this is a subtle but powerful difference.

Coaching is truly a transformational experience.  A coach works alongside a parent to co-create practical solutions to today’s parenting challenges.  Unlike a one-size-fits-all approach to parenting, which comes from parenting books, or even the often well meaning advice of friends and family.

Coaching is a compassionate, collaborative, nonjudgmental relationship between you and your coach, aimed at helping you and your family lead a more balanced and rewarding life, and couldn’t we all use that!
