Don’t wait to be a better parent.

When my kids were in high school and the challenge of parenting them seemed overwhelming, I clung to rules, consequences, and stalking. (Gotta love Find My iPhone!) 

This created arguments, disconnection, and despair.

I tried to rely on my problem-solving skills and intuition, but these resources failed me.

If I could go back in time, I wouldn’t wait until the stress, tension, and exhaustion were more than I could bear to get help.

I would learn tools to help me parent more effectively, and better strategies to help my child be the best version of themselves, as early as possible.

While boundaries and logical consequences are important, purposeful parenting requires an intentional approach:

• Respond thoughtfully.

• Keep your emotions in check (even when your child pushes your buttons.)

• Deeply understand the root of their decisions.

This comes from a place of curiosity. 

It’s not, “Why did you do that?” or, “What were you thinking?”
Accusatory lines of questioning like this result in your child disconnecting from you and from themselves.

It’s curiosity that wants to understand what they are thinking—
to empathize with what they are feeling. 

Your child’s poor decision starts with a misdirected thought.
Poor choices come from a place of not feeling good enough.

As a parent, it’s your job to get at the root of what’s going on.
To have a clear picture of what stories are playing in their heads.
To help your child identify what they are feeling.

When you do, transparent communication begins.
They make better choices.
A sense of peace and calm will resurface.

This is the type of work we do together in my private coaching program. 
We partner to uncover the root of what’s going on.
This is the gateway to empowering your child to be the best version of themselves. 

What are you waiting for?
