Parents

One-on-one coaching is tailored to individual situations. Discipline tools and encouragement techniques are shared with the parents. The sessions will explore the stages of a child’s growth, and discover how needs change over time. Parenting skills for elementary age children, for parents of teens, single parents and blended families are all available.

“Without discipline, children lack the tools necessary to navigate relationships and challenges in life such as:

  • Self-discipline
  • Respect for others
  • The ability to cooperate with peers”
