Parenting with Mindfulness: parent coaching services

Parent Coaching Services

Note: I am currently a Ph.D. candidate in Early Childhood Education at Walden University, therefore I am not offering coaching services at this time. I expect to resume my coaching practice when I graduate. -Thanks

As an experienced parent, teacher and early childhood specialist, I understand the complexities of raising children in today’s world. Whether you are a working parent or stay at home with your children, I’ve experienced both scenarios. Parent coaches meet you where you are in your parenting journey. There are several key differences between parent coaching and therapy, as I like to state right from the get-go that I do not offer therapy services. A parent coach will:

Help you become empowered to create your own solutions for solving parenting challenges;
Teach you techniques for practicing mindful parenting;
Help you discover your inner strengths and parenting wisdom;
Listen with compassion, and respond in a mindful, non-judgmental way;
Help you grow and improve your parenting skills;
Offer new insights to child development, including information based on recent brain research;
Help you broaden your ability to respond in more positive ways to your child’s challenging behaviors.

As a PCI Certified Parent Coach®, the parent coaching model I follow purposely avoids being a problem-solving process. My intention is not to offer “quick fixes”, but instead I will help you discover for yourself how to better align parenting decisions with your dreams you desire for your children and your family.

Each parent coaching session lasts 45-60 minutes and includes:

Parent coaching using a highly effective process called “Appreciative Inquiry”;
A written summary following each coaching session;
E-mail access to me as needed;
Resources pertaining to your specific parenting issue.

Most clients find they can resolve their particular parenting issues by participating in a minimum of 6-12 coaching sessions over a three month period. Some clients continue for several months or revisit coaching as future challenges arise.
