Parents take their children to the pediatrician for regular checkups. However, parents also need a safe place to go for parenting "checkups". Parent coaching offers a place in which they can nurture and better their parenting skills. After all, adults grow and change along with their children. It is unrealistic to believe that parents can handle this amazing task alone. Working with a parent coach can be a very wise, very liberating choice. A choice that can only benefit parents and the children they cherish.

At Peace of Mind Parent Coaching Suzy specializes in the following three areas:

Conflict Resolution

This includes: discipline, establishing and maintaining boundaries and rules, sibling fighting, stepparent, inconsistency, parenting disagreements with a spouse or partner, divorce, alternatives to yelling and/or spanking, limiting use of electronics or simply achieving a more harmonious parent/child relationship.

Parenting the Child with Learning Differences

Academic issues are not the only challenge parents face with children whose learning style may be "out of the box". Concerns include: confidence building, social issues, impulsive behaviors,  homework battles,  developing responsibility and resilience, resentment when younger siblings surpass academically, finding the right match for school, camp or sports, and exploring alternate ways of relating in order to foster a stronger parent/child connection.

New Perspectives

Many parents are simply seeking information which will help them to become better parents.  Without a specific issue or problem , they often do not seek advice yet long for fresh ideas to help cultivate their own and their child's most healthy self.

True change comes from within.  Suzy's role is to guide parents in transforming their perception of and responses toward their child. As a "voice" for the child she can help parents view their circumstance and their child in ways they previously had not. When a problem is approached in such a manner, authentic change willoccur.

There is a plethora of parenting advice available, much of it sound. Books, articles, and parenting programs however, are often unable to tailor their information to "you", the individual. One person's solution may be another's disaster. Suzy believes in using a "wholistic" approach to coaching. Instead of focusing on just the issue or concern at hand she looks at the whole child, the whole family. Background, temperament, learning style, habits, culture, values, idiosyncrasies, hobbies, hopes and dreams all play a role in the personalities, behaviors and relationships of children and their parents. When coaching, Suzy strives to stay mindful of all these things.

The goal of the coaching program is not to help you "change" your children. The only person we can truly change is ourselves. When parents are able to change their behavior by gaining new perspectives along with different parenting techniques, very often the change they are hoping for in their children will follow.

"WHEN WE CHANGE THE WAY WE LOOK AT THINGS THE THINGS WE LOOK AT CHANGE."
