What is Parent Coaching?

Good question. Parent coaching is magical. Seriously. But, to be more specific, parent coaching is a positive, strengths-based and co-constructive process.

During the coaching process, we will work as partners to help address parenting challenges by building upon what’s already working in the family system. (There is always at least ONE thing that’s working. I promise.)

You bring your family’s challenges and strengths to the table and I’ll bring my expertise in child development, education and parenting to engage in conversations that will draw out inner resources and help us plan a path toward the future you want for your and your family.

In our sessions, I will
Listen deeply and without judgment
Ask questions to help you consider new ideas Provide relevant, timely information and strategies
Support you as you implement changes
Be your cheerleader through the process

During our time working together, I invite you to
Share as openly and honestly as possible
Explore new ideas
Keep an open mind
Focus on how to grow what’s working
Provide feedback on the process
Follow through

Note that what I offer is parent coaching, not parenting coaching. I will not Supernanny your family.

Here’s what I know for sure: Quick fixes don’t work because the changes rarely last. I also know that your kid is super smart and will catch on if the changes you make feel superficial or insincere.

In coaching, I will work with you, as a person who also happens to be a parent, to gain confidence, increase your energy levels and clarify your hopes and dreams for your family. Then, I will support you as you take small steps toward making that dream a reality.
