I give parents the tools and information they need to be free from struggle with children, to feel deeply connected and have confidence in their parenting choices. Teach your children how to think- not what to think! We want our kids to be independent leaders who can think for themselves and stand up to peer-pressure. But how do we encourage these important life skills without inviting rebellion and disrespect into our own homes? Parent Coaching for today's busy parents. Parent coaching is a compassionate, collaborative way to help parents develope more effective ways of communication, identify priorities, make clear choices based on what is most optimal for themselves and their children.

Testimonials "After working with you I feel like I have a better knowledge of what I should do when my 2 year old has a tantrum and how to stay calm. You have been a great help to us and we really appreciate it. It was especially helpful to have the notes from each session e-mailed to us so we could look back over them as a review." - Christine Smiley " I knew that kids watched what their parents did, but I didn’t realize how effective modeling was and how even in subtle ways kids will model their parents’ behavior. My husband and I have been much more aware of our tone and actions towards each other and even towards our dog. We have been offering choices, and they have really been helpful in reducing the meltdowns we have at dinnertime." - Jennifer Wardlaw

 I have been trained to coach the whole parent and whole child.In whole-child/parent coaching the parent is guided to self-discovery of their internal and external influences by envisioning their parenting goal and feeling baby steps of success along the way. When looking at the whole child the parent is better able to help rather than punish that child. For example, if a child is having a tantrum the parent would allow that child time to release their anger, frustration, disappointment, whatever it may be that needs to be released rather than labeling that child as ADHD, Oppositional Defiant, challenging, or out of control. In looking at the whole child one may find that the true cause of this tantrum may be the result of the child “using up all of his good” (self-control and restraint) at school and feeling that home is a safe place to release all that was held in throughout the day. It could also be a reaction to too much sugar in the diet or a food allergy such as gluten or dairy, or chemicals used in household cleaners (parents may need to switch to more organic products). The tantrum could also be a reaction to not feeling heard by his or her parents. Children struggle to learn how to express their feelings and needs appropriately. It is our job to investigate the mystery of what is causing this type of behavior. Then help the child express themselves in a more effective and safe way. However, we cannot do that if we do not thoroughly look at all influencing factors in the child’s life such as physical, mental, emotional, intuitive, spiritual, and social intelligences.  "Sons are a heritage from the Lord, children a reward from Him." - Psalms 127:3
