What are "Coaching services for parents?"
While you may think parent coaching may sound
different or unusual, engaging some of my time may save
lots of worry and concern that you may have about
bullying and your child.
Coaching is an action-oriented partnership that
concentrates on the bullying or parenting issues you
have and how we will reach goals to manage these issues
together. Coaching is done over the telephone in 30 or
45 minute sessions, and sometimes with email exchanges
between phone sessions. My bullying expertise will help
you find a way to deal with your particular bullying
concerns and develop specific, concrete plans to move
you out of the worry stage to feeling confident about
yourself and how you handle a bully situation. Having
the correct tools to navigate through a bully issue can
be a very powerful experience.
The most common scenario I deal with is a parent
whose child has been involved in a bully incident, and
they want to know how to deal with their child, any
other children involved in the incident, the school, and
the parents of the children involved. As a parent, you
need to manage the way you deal with this from the
beginning, to set the stage for how future interactions
with your child around bullying and life problems will
move forward. That is what "bully coaching" is all
about. My coaching involves either individual sessions
or classes for groups of parents.
Coaching is different from psychotherapy which delves
into the patterns of your past. Sometimes looking at the
past or knowing why you're facing a certain obstacle
needs to be addressed but that can become more of a
therapy related issue and I can let you know if that
would be a more positive direction for you. |
