What is a parent coach?
A parent coach is a professional who provides guidance, support, and strategies to parents to navigate the challenges of raising children. The coach helps parents clarify their family goals. They use various techniques and strategies based on psychology, child development and communication to help enhance parenting skills. The aim of parent coaching is to empower parents to become more confident, effective caregivers and to create a harmonious and nurturing family environment.
What does a parent coach do?
Parenting is hard to do alone. There is no universal manual to address individual family needs. A parent coach provides personalized guidance, education and accountability allowing parents to create their own empowered parenting model. Parent coaches do not fix, prescribe nor diagnose. This is a partnership where the coach supports the parent to find their best solutions within a safe, judgment free space. This allows each parent to reach their full potential.
Who are my clients?
I support exhausted, disconnected parents who feel stuck in their parenting. They struggle to understand their child's behaviors whether a toddler, a teen or anywhere in between. These parents want to raise their child with joy and purpose. They long for cooperation with their child. They realize that impatience, yelling and the use of rewards & punishments is not nourishing their parent child relationship, nor effective. My clients want to create a healthy connection with their child and foster holistic well-being. When parents seek expert guidance to make their journey easier, they reach out to me to find realistic personalized solutions and aim to be the best versions of themselves.
