Parent Coaching
“The thing about parenting rules is there aren’t any. That’s what makes it so difficult.”
–Ewan McGregor
“I’ve tried everything,” may be a recurring thought you have had about parenting. Parent coaching allows you to learn and practice parenting skills in a supportive space.
Benefits:
Bring joy back into parenting
Increase confidence as a parent
Enhance child’s ability to problem-solve
Better understand child’s emotional needs
Build healthy self-esteem for child
Stronger parent-child relationship
Implement consistent rules at home
Process thoughts and feelings related to parenting
Build awareness of parenting strengths
Develop parenting skills
What to Expect:
Parents will meet for a 50 minute session to learn and practice parenting skills to use at home. Parent coaching involves homework and self-reflection.
Filial therapy: Although filial therapy is technically considered family therapy, I conduct mine differently as the child is not present for session. Parents will learn play therapy skills in session and conduct weekly play sessions at home to practice skills.
