Parent Coaching

Before your child was born, you thought that parenting would be joyful and manageable.

Now you find that some days are hard, and you wonder what you can do. 

When parenting is hard you may need more understanding of what you are going through, more support to help you get through this time, more grace, and more encouragement. You may need more tools. You will need less criticism, less guilt, less self-blaming.

Parent coaching is a practical, positive, effective, and loving way to help you make your family life easier and your family happier.

Here are some parenting challenges that we can work on together:

• • Strengthening the relationships in your family.
  • Creating a more peaceful co-parenting plan or a parallel parenting plan.
  • Resolving your parenting disagreements with a co-parent and/or a caregiver.
  • Finding a better balance between your professional and personal life, a better work-life balance.
  • Finding more support and encouragement in your family life and your professional life.
  • Managing being overwhelmed by work and family life responsibilities. Discovering what you can do to ease the struggle.
  • Returning to work after parental leave: finding the right childcare and discovering when the best time is.  
  • Becoming a more encouraging, less critical parent.
  • Improving family communication, telling your family’s love story, knowing what to say and how.
  • Managing the big emotions in your family, including temper tantrums.
  • Mapping the temperament differences in your family. What to do when the personalities in your family are just not compatible. How to minimize the upsets that are prompted by temperament. 
  • Parenting toddlers and preschoolers, including managing potty training, picking a preschool, supporting new friendships, managing temper tantrums and time-outs.
  • Finding ways to stop bribing your children in order to get their cooperation.
  • Finding ways to become a more responsive and less reactive parent.
