About Parent Coaching

How does parent coaching work?

Coaching takes place through a series of interactions that help you clarify your values and desires, both for yourself and your children.  We’ll then take steps to overcome the obstacles and challenges you face in ways that are uniquely right for you and your family.

This series of interactions typically takes place in the form of coaching sessions done by telephone, but may also include in-home observation and practical help with things such as organization, routines, and strategies for responding to challenging behaviors.

During the course of the coaching process I will:

• Help you discover more of what is working in your current situation
• Help you determine how to expand your current successes into areas of concern
• Assist you in designing action steps to attain what you desire
• Celebrate with you as you begin to experience the evidence of transformation in your family
• And encourage you as you generate momentum that will carry you forward into your best possible future

What can I expect from coaching?

The coaching relationship is a collaborative effort, driven by your commitment and dedication as a parent to engage in a process of personal discovery and growth that will, in turn, generate positive growth and change throughout all areas of your family. Because of its personal and engaging nature, coaching is capable of accelerating personal growth by providing focus and creating a greater awareness of possibilities.
