Parent Effectiveness Coaching

Effective discipline and communication strategies for raising responsible adults

Parenting can be a challenging experience, especially with a child or teen with anger management issues, tantrums, disruptive behaviors, severe noncompliance, school performance issues, or a generally negative attitude. Parent Effectiveness Coaching uses a combination of "love and logic", which is designed to make parenting and teaching fun and rewarding, instead of stressful, unruly, messy and chaotic. It uses respect, love, affection, and empathy to teach children to become responsible, loving, generous adults. 


Using the latest research and programs, and over 40 years of experience coaching parents (plus raising my own children, who are now responsible and healthy adults), we will develop a practical, workable plan for managing misbehavior, problem solving and negotiating through deeply ingrained conflict, and giving you the parenting skills for teaching your child or teen to become a responsible adult.


INEFFECTIVE STRATEGIES YOU WILL UNLEARN: 


  • yelling to get things done
  • using bribery
  • manipulating your kids to do what you want them to do
  • using empty threats
  • using "punishment" as a discipline tool
  • repeated arguments 
  • authoritarian techniques that only create resentment on both sides


Give us a call, or complete the form below to start a new path for effective parenting. Most families see results within 2-4 sessions through using our Parent Effectiveness Coaching model.


On occasion, Parent Effectiveness Coaching  can  be conducted via home visits in  Wexford, and the surrounding area.



EFFECTIVE STRATEGIES YOU WILL LEARN:


  • The most basic premise-- using love, affection, respect and dignity as the foundation.
  • What cooperative, realistic and respectful expectations, structure, and boundaries look like for both the adults and children.
  • To focus on how to stop arguing, begging, repeating yourself, and feeling defeated
  • To develop and use a behavior contract to manage misbehavior and teach specific skills
  • How to be the rodel model
  • To use positive reinforcement and natural and logical consequences
  • become a unified parental front to increase responsible behavior


While there are many other skills that you will learn, one outcome of this approach is to reduce and even eliminate unnecessary and repetitive family squabbles, oppositional behavior, and family tension. The result will be a family environment that is based on more cooperative, loving, and responsible behavior on all sides.
