3 Goals of the Coach-Parenting Certified Parent Program

The Coach-Parenting Certified Parent Program focuses on teaching you three main aspects of using coaching skills in parenting. 

It will teach you how to:

1. Use positive and empowering coaching skills in your interactions with your children. 

In other words, the Coach-Parenting Certified Parent Program will show you how to coach your children.  You'll learn how to have a constructive way to handle just about any situation.  You will learn a set of 10 core coaching skills and receive a tool that makes it easy for you to use those skills in almost any situation.  Because you will have at least 10 positive things to try at anytime, you can avoid resorting to parenting behaviors that you'll regret simply because you can't think of anything else. 

Has that ever happened to you?  It has to me.  I've tried everything I can think of and nothing has helped the situation.  So, as a last resort, I yell.  And afterward, I wish I hadn't.  But, right in the middle of the situation, I couldn't think of anything else and I had to do something.  With the toolkit of 10 core coaching skills, I find that I am rarely in that situation.  I can almost always find a way to coach my children because I have at least 10 ways to do it and the situation is usually resolved before I work my way through all 10 of them.  You'll receive the toolkit of 10 core coaching skills as part of the Coach-Parenting Certified Parent Program. 

As part of this first goal of the program, you'll also learn how to help your children find their own motivation for doing their best.  This allows you to stop "parenting" and start coaching.  This made a huge difference for me and my son during potty training.  It is amazing what children can accomplish when the motivation is coming from themselves rather than from an outside source. 

You'll learn how to avoid power struggles and let go of old habits that weren't working.  The coaching approach allows you to step out of the "controlling" mode of parenting that can so easily lead to power struggles and other parenting difficulties.  When you coach your children, you are in a very different type of role that makes it easy for you to bypass power struggles with your children.

Parents say that this first goal of the program brings them immediate results in their parenting.

2. Choose parenting words and actions that express your own values, beliefs, and ideas. 

In this second goal, the Coach-Parenting Certified Parent Program will show you how to bring what you feel is most important in parenting into everything that you do and say as a parent.  

Parents say that this second goal of the program is what makes the biggest difference in their parenting

in the long run. 

The Coach-Parenting Certified Parent Program will show you how to make a list of your parenting values and how to use it to be the kind of parent you want to be, everyday.  This provides a foundation for your parenting.  So that you have a way to keep yourself on track, a way to connect the many aspects of your parenting, and a guide when you're not sure what to do next. 

Have you ever received parenting advice or read a parenting tip and wondered if it would work for you and your children?  Your list of parenting values can serve as an invaluable guide to finding parenting techniques that are appropriate for you and your children.  It lets you sift through the massive amount of parenting advice out there and choose the few techniques that match your set of values.  Those are the parenting techniques that are likely to be most effective for your family.  If only I had known this when I was potty-training my son.  We would have been able to skip months and months worth of trying techniques that just weren't right for us!

Have you ever felt like everything in your parenting is scrambled, disjointed, or unconnected? You can use your list of parenting values to make sure that all aspects of your parenting are connected to your values. This can make a tremendous difference in the effectiveness of your parenting.  Imagine that your children are hearing and experiencing the same set of values in many different ways throughout each day. 

Your list of parenting values can help you succeed in parenting. When you know that you are doing the things that are most important to you everyday, you will know that you are being successful as a parent.  In fact, this section of the program proposes a new definition of successful parenting that parents say helps them focus on what really is important in parenting and gives them a true measuring stick for knowing how they are doing as a parent.

I feel very strongly about the huge difference that having a list of parenting values and knowing how to use it in your parenting can make. 

This one part of the Certified Parent Program alone, can totally transform your parenting.  

It can give you confidence in all that you do as a parent, it can give you guidance as you come across new situations and new phases of your children's development, and it can give you a solid base for all that you do as a parent.  If you were only going to read one part of the Certified Parent Program, this is the part to read. 

3. Coach yourself right in the middle of your parenting situations.

This is the part of the program that makes it easy for you to bring out the best in yourself.  You can coach yourself through your parenting situations.  You can coach yourself to find a good way to respond to your children, and you can do it over and over throughout a situation.  So that no matter how long the situation lasts, no matter what else may be going on, you can stay focused and can continue to find ways to respond that will be effective, that will reflect what is most important to you, and that you'll feel good about later. 

One parent said to me, "I was totally relaxed.  I used to get so frustrated and yell and scream.  But now, when my son pushes all of my buttons, I remain calm and coach myself.  I know that I can outlast him without losing my temper.  The game isn't fun for him anymore and he gives up."

What made the difference for this parent is that she knew that no matter what happened, she could coach herself to find an answer.  And, because she knew that when she coached herself she found answers that she felt good about, she didn't lose her temper and didn't regret her actions later. 

She coached herself and brought out the best in herself.  

The more she did this, the more confidence she had in her parenting.  She wasn't anxious when her son started acting up, she didn't spend late nights worrying that she was making big mistakes in her parenting, and she began enjoying her parenting again. 

That's an important point.  She began enjoying being a parent. 

This made a big difference in my parenting too.  When I was in the midst of our "year of potty-training", I was starting to dread so many situations every day.  I would worry about what was going to happen at the grocery store, at grandma's house, at the park around other moms and children, etc.  Everything had such a negative feeling, and it just plain wasn't fun. The more I coached myself right in the middle of my situations and saw that I could actually come up with solutions that worked, the more confidence I had.  I began to relax.  I began to smile more.  I began to have fun again.

Coaching skills did that for me.  I learned how to coach myself to find the solutions I needed and it brought out the best in me.  The third goal of the Coach-Parenting Certified Parent Program is to teach you how to do that too; to teach you how to coach yourself and bring out the best in yourself.
