When parents struggle with child behavior, coaching can help!

When I was a school psychologist, conducting evaluations for “emotional/behavioral disorders” I thought to myself, “If I could just get to the adults who love, care for, and teach these kids, we wouldn’t have to have so many evaluations!” In 2000, I took a weekend training on becoming a life coach. I walked out of the hotel and thought, “I’m not a life coach. I’m a parent coach.” Then I made it up. Since then, I’ve coached hundreds of families to a healing spot where they’re connecting with their kids in a whole new way. Yes, kids of all ages, all diagnoses and no diagnoses. And there’s no more gratifying work.

Well actually, training other people to be parent coaches is right up there with the actual coaching. I get to witness my students and former students see the same types of results I see — whew, what a high that is!

I use a physiological approach to coaching. What’s that, you ask? I share how communication affects kids’ bodies and ways to create a profoundly different response by addressing the way they receive words and actions. It seems simple and it is. It’s just that many people don’t know about it. If you haven’t learned this, no worries. Coaching can help! Watch my TEDx Talk to get a feel for my work and then decide if it sounds good to you.
