What is a
Parent and Family Coach?
A Parent and Family Coach is someone who works with families to help them create:
- a more balanced life
- a less stressful home environment
- goals for their family to achieve a happy and satisfying home life
- appropriate boundaries for children
- a wide array of tools for parenting
- a clear vision of the values they wish to teach their children
A Parent and Family Coach also helps families to deal with other issues that impact the family such as:
- Mothers re-entering the workforce
- Difficult relationships with In-laws
- New baby entering the family
- Sibling rivalry
- Overscheduled kids and parents
- Identity issues of going from career woman to full-time mom
- Nurturing the nurturers - Mom and Dad taking good care of themselves
- Impact of societal issues on kids - i.e., terrorism, violence in the media...
- The changes within marriage after children enter the family
As a Parent and Family Coach, I teach parents how to:
- Teach their kids good sleep habits
- Set firm, loving limits with their kids
- Model & demand respectful behavior for their kids
- Create structure for their kids around homework
- Reduce sibling rivalry
- Help kids make good choices
- Avoid over-indulgence with their kids
- Understand their child's developmental stage
- Identify and understand each family member's role within the family
- Reduce stress by simplifying their schedules
- Educate their children about the importance of good hygiene
- Help their kids identify and express their feelings
- Show their kids the importance of giving to their community
- Utilize their resources to get the support they need
- Create a happy and balanced family life
...and much, much more!
