Coaching For Parent
Parenting coaching is a type of service that aims to provide the necessary knowledge, tools, guidance, and most especially support to parents without bias or judgment so that they become more knowledgeable and better equipped to raise up focused, stable and balanced children. Although becoming a parent is rewarding, reality is it’s also challenging and responsibilities that parents must fulfill are huge:
- Raising good children who can contribute to the society
- Providing a home that is loving, supportive, and caring.
- Meeting all the needs of their children such as a home, education, food, healthcare, and education.
- Taking care of their respective spouses…while they also try to meet their own needs and cope with their personal struggles.
Parenting usually becomes more stressful during the ‘teen’ years. Parenting counseling help parents gain a better understanding of the best parenting style at this time which helps restore the family, bringing back harmony and peace in the household. Parenting counseling is recommended to all parents. However, it is more of a necessity for those who are:
- Dealing with children’s issues – Children can be a source of stress and problems for the parents, especially since teen behaviors change over time.
- Experiencing marital issues – Problems in the marriage such as finances and infidelity have a large impact on the marriage and children.
- Undergoing separation or divorce – Separation or divorce is just as impactful to the children as it is to the parents.
- Experiencing abuse or aggression – Any abuse inflicted on the parent can build tension, fear, and more aggression in the household. Children can grow up with anger, indifference, and hate.
- Abusing illegal substances such as drugs and alcohol – Substance abuse can affect many facets of the family, including financial stability and marital relationships. It also increases the risk of mental health illness and abuse.
Parent coaching is a multi-fold approach and multi-step process. A thorough interview is conducted to identify the main issue, gain a better understanding of the problem, and assess the current behavior and state of the parent and family. Then proper solutions worked on.
Teenage, Young Adult Coaching
The teenage years are one of the most challenging phases for both teens and their parents. Teens usually start to face a lot of new pressures and can sometimes react in not so healthy ways when they encounter a problem. Teens may need coaching in order to cope with this problems and take the right approach to solving them. Parents must always be on the lookout and know the signs they need to look out for and how they can find the right counselor for their teenage children.
Some struggles teenagers face are a normal part of growing up, like experimenting new ideas, dealing with peer groups, and going through changes in identity, interests, and moods. It is always important for parents and guardians to exercise a great deal of patience when dealing with them to help them to open up and say the problems they are having. Adolescent counselling is to help make sense of their feelings, behaviors and thoughts.
Teens may need professional coaching/counselling for behavior problems, emotional problems, mental health issues, substance abuse problems, stress, relationship difficulties, and traumatic experiences. The longer you wait to seek help, the worse your teen’s problems may become. It’s important to seek help as soon as you can.
