You can find an easier way to parent
You can simplify your busy family life
You can reduce your family's stress
Parents today face so many stressors:
- Spending enough time enjoying their family
- Work schedule – hard to have enough time after work for family
- Parenting challenges
- House chores and laundry
- Finding time for self-care – a nap, reading for pleasure, taking a walk
Parents seek peace. They seek relief.
Yet, have you ever said to yourself?
- “I’m tired of yelling. I just want peace in my home.”
- “I feel like I’m running on empty.”
- “I’m so mad at myself. I’m always rushing to pick up my child.”
- “I love my family, and I love my work. In all the chaos, though, I feel like I’m losing myself.”
You are doing everything you can to hold it all together.
You work hard, care deeply, and still feel like there’s never enough time, energy, or patience.
You love your family, and yet some days being loving is hard.
Perhaps you lie awake at night worrying about your family.
Perhaps you may be upset because you had a difficult conversation with your loved one.
Perhaps you are frustrated because you don’t know how to make things better.
What can you do? What will help?
Some folks may need a step-by-step guide/blueprint of what to do to make things better. Consider when one builds a house, they need a blueprint to guide the builder on what to do. The builder hires the folks who will put in the foundation and the plumbing, paint, and put the roof on. The builder will keep track of what needs to be done and when. The builder will check to see if more supplies are needed.
Just like a homebuilder, you may need a guide to help you make parenting easier, to make your family relationships better.
Why coaching?
Coaching takes into account where the parent is today: circumstances, relationships, stressors. It is a non-judgmental process that offers guidance and encouragement to someone who wants to make those changes that will make their family life better. Coaching is an effective way for long-lasting change/transformation to occur.
As a coach, I support parents as they discern what they can change or manage differently, and then as they make those changes that are possible.
How can you find peace? How can you find relief? What will help?
The Serenity Prayer is the guide that I encourage parents to use as they work to transform their lives.
Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
courage to change the things I can,
and wisdom to know the difference.
Through this process a parent can become a more effective parent. They may learn new ways to manage temper tantrums and big emotions. They may learn how to discipline, which means to teach, in a more positive way, a way that strengthens their bond with their child. They may learn new ways to resolve conflict and improve communication. They may end up feeling closer to their child, and their child may end up feeling closer to them. I help parents simplify their busy family life.
You can TAKE CARE OF YOU FIRST. You can feel better. You can be happier. And your family can be happier, too.
You may already be doing the work of managing your stress in a healthier way.
If you have participated in a MBSR program, (Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction),
you may be wondering what’s next or what else you can do to help yourself.
It may be helpful, to manage your stressors differently.
Simplifying your busy family life is about reducing your family’s stress.
