Parent Coaching

Parent Coaching

Parenting is amazing - it can be challenging and frustrating but also rewarding. Being a good parent does not mean being a perfect parent. It means constantly learning how to parent our specific children. However, it is not always easy to figure out how to be loving, nurturing, supportive parents while also setting limits. It is especially hard to set limits and discipline without engaging in power struggles. We can help parents learn simple techniques that make parenting more positive and more fun. The goal is for parents to spend more time playing, talking, and enjoying their children. The approaches we recommend are positive and family-centered and are designed to empower parents with information and strategies that work.

School districts may refer families for parent coaching in order to bridge the gap between home and school. This work involves collaboration with the school team in order to effectively support the generalization of important student skills across settings.
