Coach-Parenting

A positive and empowering approach to parenting

We teach parents how to coach themselves to bring out their best right in the middle of parenting situations.  Basically, we show parents how to find effective solutions that fit their families right when they need them.

We also teach parents how to coach their children, so they can bring out the best in them.  Not only does this allow parents to empower their children, it gives parents many positive parenting tools they can use anytime. 

Last, and very importantly, we teach parents how to use their own values, beliefs, and ideas as a foundation for all that they do and say as parents.  This gives parents a guide to follow in their own parenting, makes it possible for them to share those important life lessons on a daily basis, and gives them a great deal of confidence and satisfaction in themselves and their parenting.

Helping parents find their own solutions

Coach-Parenting will teach you, a parent coach, how to coach parents through their parenting situations.  You'll learn how to help parents find their own best solutions to their parenting situations.   Coach-Parenting is not about telling parents what to do.  Coach-Parenting is about helping parents find their own answers. 

Teaching parents to coach themselves

Coaching is all about empowering and Coach-Parenting will teach you how to empower parents.  That means you'll teach parents to coach themselves.  Coach-Parenting is not about making parents dependent on their coaches.  It is about giving parents the coaching skills and tools they need to do it on their own. 

Showing parents how to use their values as a guide

Coach-Parenting will teach you how to help parents build a foundation for their parenting based on their values.  Then you'll learn how to help parents use their values as a guide for everything they do as parents.  This makes it possible for parents to do all the important things they'd like to do as parents on an everyday basis. 

Practical and realistic

None of this is worth anything unless parents can actually use the skills and tools you've taught them in their everyday parenting situations.  All of the skills and tools in the Coach-Parenting program are designed to be used in everyday parenting situations.  They are fast, most of them taking less than a minute to use.  They are effective.  They help parents get right to the heart of the matter so they can find solutions that will be effective for their families.   They are practical and realistic.  Parents can use them almost anytime, anywhere.  Coach-Parenting will teach you how and when to share the different coaching skills and tools with parents. 

Helping parents, not changing children

In all of the training, the focus is on helping you help the parent.  The focus is not on showing you how to change the children through the parent.  Coach-Parenting will teach you how to help parents make choices and take actions that they won't regret later.  Coach-Parenting will teach you how to build parents' confidence, skill sets, and effectiveness.  As a result, their parenting is positive and effective, and parents feel good about their parenting, everyday.
