Parenting Coaching

Parenting Coaching (Conscious Parenting)

"The most powerful way I can support a child is to support their parent." Children are learning how to be human by watching and patterning on their parents' attitudes, behaviours and actions. Conscious parenting opens up the space for responding to children’s needs and wishes opposed to reacting against them. This is about making a difference in the lives of your children.

Parents need to join forces and form effective partnerships. Both need to know the difference between words that demoralise and those that give courage, between the words that trigger confrontation and those that invite co-operation; between the words that make it impossible for the child to think or concentrate and the words that free the natural desire to learn.

Here is an opportunity for you to learn and understand how to help your children believe in who they are and who they can become. You will be able to help create an emotional environment that makes it safe for your children to open themselves up to what is new and unfamiliar. You will be able to help your children take responsibility and exercise self-control.

Together you all make up a family where each member has needs, ideas and wishes. The coming together of all these elements is what is exciting about Parenting Coaching.
