Parent Coaching
I am excited to partner with you! As a parent and educator, I know and understand this is the most important work you will ever do. My coaching philosophy is rooted in relationships and trust, I believe coaching is a thing of the heart. I can’t wait to hear your story and help unlock all the possibilities!
What is parent coaching?
Parent Coaching focuses on the parent. Coaching conversations focus on support, a shared partnership, and accountability. The role of a Parent Coach is to provide a non-judgmental environment where parents are heard, receive thoughtful insight, and are given strategic support in order to help make decisions based on their own defined values. Coaching techniques include a process of self-discovery and self-direction, powerful questioning, and strategic goal setting. As a coach, I will help clients evaluate their own personal narratives, identify and navigate obstacles, and help to monitor progress.
Consultations can be on a wide area of targeted concerns. Coaching sessions will help parents identify specific needs, develop goals, and implement strategies to address specific concerns. Initial assessments are often in person and take about 60-90 minutes, depending on the amount of information needed to provide effective coaching. A 20-30 minute phone consultation happens prior to the first visit. Parent Coaching can be conducted in person or via televideo.
