Encouraging and Effective Parenting Solutions: Group Coaching for Parents of Young Children:
This 8-week coaching program will provide you with research-based ways for you to help your child with their behavior that will help you feel better about being a parent.
Here are the coaching topics:
- Caring for you and your child
- Compatibility in the family
- Cooperation – Help your child “listen”
- Communication
- Conflict resolution
Child behavior consulting and parent coaching:
- I will teach you proven, research-based child guidance strategies that will help you help your child.
- I will coach you as you begin to use these encouraging strategies.
- I will coach you as you make positive changes to manage your family and work life.
- I will coach you as you strengthen your relationship with your child.
I care for all parents and their children. I care for families with working parents.
You will be guided through the process of learning what the factors are that influence your child’s behavior and
how you can discipline (which means to teach) more effectively and in an encouraging way
that will strengthen your relationship with your child.
You will learn how to respond to problematic behavior in a less reactive and emotional way.
I care for working parents. I understand the challenges when there is limited time.
Is your child at risk of being suspended or expelled from school or childcare? Does your child have difficult behaviors such as:
- Having trouble being in circle time and getting along with their classmates.
- Having a hard time “listening” to teachers and cooperating.
- Having temper tantrums.
Is your child having a hard time with their behavior at home?
- Not “listening.” Not cooperating at dinner time, bedtime, or in the morning – getting up and ready for the day.
- Fighting with siblings.
- Having temper tantrums when your child doesn’t get their way.
Do you need support and guidance with:
- Managing potty training, having successful play dates, managing temper tantrums and time-outs.
- Finding ways to stop bribing your children in order to get their cooperation.
- Finding ways to remain calm when emotions are high.

Therapy treats emotional wounds and can be a much-needed family resource.
Coaching and consulting are not therapy. They are ways for a parent to find a new way of working with their child and having a better family life.
