What is parent coaching?

Parent coaching offers you the opportunity to reflect on your job as a parent, increase clarity and confidence in your parenting skills, and develop a strategy for building a positive, constructive relationship with your child/ren. Parent coaching is based on the idea that you know your child best and already have many of the answers you need.  Coaching offers you the time to incorporate into daily life what you understand about your children.

How does coaching work?

Coaching sessions are a process that incorporates:

-Reflection- Why are you seeking parent coaching?  What is going on right now in your relationship with your child?  What is going well with your child?  What are you doing well?

-Clarification-What is most important to you in your relationship to your child?  What do you want to work on?

-Goal Setting- What are the areas you specifically want to work on?

-Development of a plan- How will you begin to take steps forward to reach your goals?  What are the specific changes that you are going to make? How will you know if your goals are being achieved?
