FAQ
What is Parent Coaching?
Parent Coaching is an interactive approach that provides parents with tools and insights to create healthier relationships with their children. Using a collaborative and evidence based approach, parent coaching offers support and guidance to understand where your child is developmentally and how their social, emotional, cognitive and physical development plays a part in how they communicate. Parenting challenges are addressed and alternative perspectives are offered around family situations. Strategies are developed to shift behavior and family dynamics, and help parents achieve their parenting goals.
What is Our Parenting Philosophy?
We view every family as different and unique, therefore the amount of time will depend largely on the challenges you bring. There is no “fix,” rather we will work together to understand your strengths as a parent and provide support for you to achieve your goals.
How Long Will It Take?
Our approach is based in a mindful/conscious model of parenting, which encourages a shift in perspective of reacting from a place of fear, anger or control and instead responding from a place of love, compassion and curiosity. The focus is on relationship building as the most effective path to influencing behavior. We will explore the ways in which parents own childhoods inform their parenting style and empower parents to create their own style based on their personal values and beliefs.
