Parenting Coaching
“If only my child had come with an instruction manual!” That’s a thought that most parents have had at some point in their lives.
Nothing prepares you to become a parent. Some of us were lucky enough to have parents that set a good example. But others grew up in homes where the dynamic between child and parent was anything but functional or consistently loving.
But the truth is, even if you had loving parents who did right by you 24/7, you could never be fully prepared to handle sticky situations with your own children. You never really know what behavioral challenges your child may end up struggling with and how those will affect your other children and the family.
This is where parenting coaching comes in. Our team is trained in Active Parenting and believe this method will help you create a relationship with your children while maintaining your parenting role.
Coaching is a bit different from traditional psychotherapy or counseling in that its focus is more goal-directed. Whereas traditional therapy may have you spend weeks exploring past events to recognize how they have contributed to current moods and behaviors, parenting coaching helps you choose a goal (get my child to do their homework without a daily tantrum) and offers tried and true techniques to help get the outcomes you desire.
Who is Parenting Coaching For?
Parenting coaching is for any parent who wishes to resolve their children’s behavioral struggles. These struggles can include typical daily struggles such as:
- Morning routines
- Homework struggles
- Sibling bickering
But coaching can also help with more demanding behaviors that push the parent’s skillset. These include:
- Dealing with a strong-willed child
- Getting a picky eater to eat
- Engaging with an angry or defiant teenager
- Guiding a child with Attention Deficit issues
