A Different Approach

Traditional behavioral methods involve rewards and punishment, time-outs, and threats. But there is another way - a peaceful way based on strengthening your relationship, building emotional intelligence, and increasing self-regulation. Many parents have heard of these positive parenting techniques, but are not sure how to actually implement them and make it work with their children, especially because most of us were not parented in this way.

Parent coaching offers help in understanding the "why"  of positive parenting while really getting into the "how." 

My goal is to help you strengthen the skills you already have while providing you with new and innovative ideas that are suited to your child and family.
