“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 really prepares you to become a parent. Some folks 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.
Coaching is a bit different from traditional psychotherapy or counseling in that its focus is more goal-directed and skill-based. Whereas traditional therapy may have you spend weeks exploring past events to recognize how they have contributed to current moods and behaviors, parent coaching helps you choose a goal (ie. get my teen to put their phone down and do their homework without a daily argument) and offers tried and true techniques to help get the outcomes you desire.
Morning routines
Daily responsibilities
Phone use and screen time
Peer relationships
Curfews
Homework
Financial responsibility
Substance use
and more!
A coach is that person in your corner who offers the best tools to reach the goals you’ve set and cheers you on as you do the work and take the necessary steps. I’m here to share what I have learned over the years so you can gain control over your own actions and your home.
