Nothing really prepares you to become a parent. You never really know what behavioral challenges your child may wind up struggling with, and how those will affect your other children and the family as a whole.
This is where parenting coaching comes in.
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 (reduce the number of conflicts around homework) and offers techniques to help get the outcomes you desire.
Who is Parenting Coaching For?
Parenting coaching is for any parent that wishes to resolve behavioral struggles with their children. Coaching is meant to help with more demanding behaviors that push the parent’s skillset, including:
- Conflicts that escalate into aggressive or destructive behavior
- Divorce and Blended Families
- Establishing rules & expectations that can be both held firm and mutually-respected.
- Guiding a child with Attention Deficit issues
