Although we call it "Parent Coaching," it's a family process that involves a coach sitting down with you and yours to understand the family dynamic and identify the factors that contribute to the undesirable behaviors and results. We then develop proactive and responsive strategies to improve your connection with your children. We guide them – and you – in learning the 5 SKILLS OF SELF-LEADERSHIP:

• Self-understanding
• Understanding Others
• Relational Skills
• Self-management
• Goal Accomplishment

You and your coach typically meet once a week in your home, nearby community, or even virtually – whatever is most convenient for you. It's quick and easy to enter our program, and we offer flexible scheduling. Meetings usually start off lasting about two hours, then taper down to an hour or so once everyone "gets with the program." We strongly recommend and encourage you to maintain consistent contact throughout the training, and we will touch base with you regularly between scheduled meetings.

That depends on a number of factors, including the nature of the issues, how challenging the home situation is, and how willing each participant is to learn the skills and apply them, among so many other things that it's impossible to say for sure. What we can tell you, though, is that the families we've coached have reported almost immediate improvements in several areas. No matter the make-up of your family, we can help parents learn, refine, or master their skills within months – sometimes in weeks!

Our mentors excel where many others struggle because they are trained to handle any scenario without being reactionary. They are uniquely skilled at connecting with kids who are resistant, withdrawn, or oppositional. They are prepared, willing and capable of being present in every moment. Empathic, humble, caring yet strong and assertive, they know how to relate to your child no matter what they do or don't do, say or don't say. They are masters at teaching kids to develop the specific skills they need to gain confidence, feel safe, valued, and significant. They find creative ways to inspire and motivate kids who typically resist and are unwilling to get up and move, to try new things, or to overcome their fears and obstacles.

By becoming more confident in their significance and value, they'll learn to be more comfortable in any given situation. More responsible, resourceful, and resilient. They'll develop a better balance of work, play, rest, and study while learning to take better care of themselves through healthier eating, more exercise, and activity. They'll have more fun! They'll become better leaders, problem-solvers, and decision-makers, learn to practice self-acceptance, and how to communicate with and relate to you and others more effectively.

You’ll leave coaching with a clearer understanding of what’s driving the dynamic at home—and a plan you can actually use.

• Set clear expectations, rewards, and consequences
• Communicate calmly and assertively under pressure
• Reduce conflict and repair relationships after blow-ups
• Respond to negativity without escalating
• Create routines that build responsibility and independence
