If your child seems to go through life stages with more difficulty than average, parent coaching can help you to understand a variety of contributing factors, so you can prevent and respond to the challenges with new tools. Negative behaviors are signs that your child has not been able to cope with intense feelings, sensory sensitivities and stress.
It is naturally difficult for us parents to struggle with our children’s difficult behaviors because they trigger our own feelings, which can interfere with rational thinking and sound decisions. You and your child deserve to receive more support during this demanding time of the family life cycle and to live it with more joy!
Although child and family counseling when this is not possible, parent coaching with a mental health professional can improve the child’s coping significantly. Either coaching for and individual parent, or for two or more co-parents improves the capacities for all involved.
