Parental/family coaching is a support service for parents wishing to improve their educational strategies or wishing to obtain tips and advice in relation to a given situation.
What is parent coaching?
In some cases, the professional may also be called upon to intervene directly with the child or adolescent.
Here are some concrete examples that illustrate how parenting/family coaching can be useful:
- Parent who feels overwhelmed with how to intervene with their child or teenager
- Event that requires a new adaptation for the family (death, moving, etc.)
- Family restructuring (separation, arrival of a new spouse, blended family)
- Parent wishing to improve communication with their child or teenager, or wishing to discuss a delicate subject with them
- Parent who wishes to obtain tools to know how to intervene with his child or teenager with ADD/HD
- Parent looking for tools to optimize his interventions with his child or teenager struggling with an opposition disorder
- Perioddifficult or questioning for the young person (breakup, homosexuality, friends having a bad influence on him, problems at school)
- Child or teenager who has difficulty managing their emotions (frustration, anger, etc.)
- Child or adolescent who is anxious or has low self-esteem
- Child or teenager who lacks social skills
- Child or adolescent victim of bullying or suffering from exclusion
In short, the professional can intervene on various facets relating to your family life and adapt their strategies according to your specific needs. The parental/family coach can help you optimize the quality of your interventions as well as guide you on how to manage a difficult situation. Unlike psychotherapy, coaching is mainly oriented towards the "here and now" and offers concrete ways to achieve your goal.
