A Parent and Family Coach is someone who works with families to help them create:

• A more balanced life
• A less stressful home environment
• Goals for their family to achieve a happy and satisfying home life
• Appropriate boundaries for children
• A wide array of tools for parenting
• A clear vision of the values they wish to teach their children

A Parent and Family Coach also helps families to deal with other issues that impact the family such as:

• Mothers re-entering the workforce
• Difficult relationships with In-laws
• New baby entering the family
• Sibling rivalry
• Overscheduled kids and parents
• Identity issues of going from career woman to full-time mom
• Nurturing the nurturers – Mom and Dad taking good care of themselves
• Impact of societal issues on kids – i.e., terrorism, violence in the media…
• The changes within marriage after children enter the family

As a Parent and Family Coach, I teach parents how to:

• Teach their kids good sleep habits
• Set firm, loving limits with their kids
• Model & demand respectful behavior for their kids
• Create structure for their kids around homework
• Reduce sibling rivalry
• Help kids make good choices
• Avoid over-indulgence with their kids
• Understand their child’s developmental stage
• Identify and understand each family member’s role within the family
• Reduce stress by simplifying their schedules
• Educate their children about the importance of good hygiene
• Help their kids identify and express their feelings
• Show their kids the importance of giving to their community
• Utilize their resources to get the support they need
• Create a happy and balanced family life 

…and much, much more!
