How can coaching help you and your child to thrive?

As a parent to an 12-year-old son, I understand the heartache and pain we have to endure when we notice that our children are struggling in life. We wish we could protect them from disappointments, sadness, heartbreak, and all of the challenges life brings, but we cannot. Regardless of intended help and good intentions, we must all sort out our own troubles. What we can indeed do though is to help them understand that they have a choice in how to look at challenges, that they must choose to hop in the driver’s seat, and that only they alone can take control of their lives. This is what my coaching is about. It’s about giving parents and children the life skills they need, such that they can make conscious choices in every aspect of their lives. Do you have a child who has a hard time controlling his anger or focusing in class, has low self-esteem or trust issues, who is not motivated, always gives up easily, thinks negative thoughts, is anxious, is being taken advantage of, is bullied or is bullying others, does not speak up or chooses the wrong friends, does not have any goals and yet rejects or refuses to listen to you etc.?  All these situations and more can be changed if the parents and the children have the tools, the knowledge, and the awareness to use them. When your child understands how to create healthy relationships with her- or himself as well as others, has developed good communication skills, becomes more resilient, sets and achieves her or his goals, become more focused and aware; then she or he has a far better chance of living a more fulfilling and flourishing life. And we as parents are the examples that children look up to and follow. Don’t wait until you must tackle a mental health crisis: be proactive and preventive by giving yourself and your child the tools and possibilities coaching can offer. Allow me to help diminish some of the stress parenting entails by supporting you and teaching your child how to be more responsible for his or her own happiness. You may have noticed how extremely hard it is to work with your own child on certain topics. My own experience has been no different, trust me. Allow me to help you with some parenting tips that you can implement right away.  My goal is to set your child on a path to a rewarding life through compassionate self-care and personal responsibility – precisely those skills most difficult for any parent to communicate.
