You can find an easier way to parent
You can reduce your family's stress

My name is Jennifer Watanabe.
I’ve been working with busy parents since 1996.
- I am a mother of two grown sons. I worked outside the home when they were young.
- I know what it is like be stressed: to have so much to do – at home and at work.
- For 24 years I taught parenting classes for Bellevue College in Washington state.
- Since 2007 I’ve been a Certified Parent Coach.
- Since 2011 I’ve been a Certified Positive Discipline Parenting Educator.
Parenting is hard.
Managing family life is hard.
How can you make things easier for you and your family?
Perhaps you lie awake at night worrying about how you can get everything on your to-do list done.
You may feel like you have too many demands on your time and energy.
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 and to reduce your stress.
Coaching is one way for parents to get the support and guidance they need to make their life better.
I can coach you through the steps either in one-t0-one private coaching or group coaching.
My approach is one of encouragement and guidance. No judgment. No blaming.
I will encourage you to TAKE CARE OF YOU FIRST.
You will feel better. You will become happier.
