What is parent coaching? Parent coaching is a form of guidance and support for parents. Instead of delving into the past like traditional therapy, parent coaching focuses on specific behavioral goals and provides practical techniques to address them. Parent coaching can help with everyday challenges like getting dressed for school to more sever behaviors like aggression. 

​

Here are some key things to know about parent coaching:

• Goal-oriented: Parent coaching is focused on identifying specific goals parents want to accomplish, like improving morning routines, resolving sibling conflict, or dealing with tantrums. The coaching provides strategies and accountability to reach those goals.

 

• Customized: Coaches work with parents to personalize an approach based on the child's unique needs, the parent's strengths, and the family dynamics. There's no one-size-fits-all formula.

 

• Practical skills: Coaches teach concrete parenting techniques like positive reinforcement, effective communication skills, implementing structure and routine, and managing challenging behaviors.

 

• Ongoing support: Coaching provides continuous support through scheduled sessions, troubleshooting between sessions, and access to the coach for questions. Parents get regular feedback and encouragement.

 

• Non-judgmental: Coaches come alongside parents without judgment, providing guidance and accountability while respecting parents' experiences and perspectives.

 

• Complementary: Coaching works alongside other interventions like therapy or medication management. It focuses on parenting skills and the parent-child relationship.

 

The goal of parent coaching is to empower parents with the tools and perspective needed to create positive change. It's personalized guidance through the joys and challenges of parenting.
