First Sessions, First impressions

The first session can be up to an hour. You have to get to know one another. What is the client looking for? You have to set ground rules. I ask for a three-month commitment, and require a 24 hours cancellation notice. I have certain other requirements, such as I do not allow drug or alcohol influence when we talk. Your first session with your client is very important because it sets the tone for all the sessions to come. First impressions are important. If the client feels uncomfortable about confiding in you, the client will either find a new coach or quit the coaching process.

10 Activities that Promote Bonding With Your Baby

While for some new mothers, bonding with their baby comes naturally and happens long before their baby was even born. For other mothers, developing that bond and deep sense of attachment takes time as they adjust to their new role as mom and adapt to their new physical, emotional and often spiritual self. Wherever you are in the bonding process, it's important to understand that bonding is indeed a process and not an end result you achieve simply after giving birth. Each day you spend caring for your baby, your bond with your baby develops and gets deeper.

How Do I Handle A Client in Crisis?

Mark Brandenberg, who specializes in coaching men, said: Men have trouble asking for help and calling a coach is asking for help. It is a new field and people don’t know much about it. Coaching is good for men because it is in the comfort of home; it is private. However, men don’t call coaches until they have a crisis. Men often call a coach when they are on the verge of a divorce. They are no good at picking up a wife’s signals that she’s tired of the marriage. They are often in shock about what is happening.

The Empathy Gene: If You Have It, You Are A Natural Coach? Get Paid for Your Talents.

"The great gift of human beings is that we have the power of empathy, we can all sense a mysterious connection to each other." ~ Meryl Streep The ability to resonate with another person on a deep level is the core talent of a parenting coach, and all coaches for that matter. Such resonance is achieved through empathy, the ability to feel with her client, not to feel for them or about them. Resonating with clients is a striking intuitive knowing which enables you as a parenting coach to predict their needs and provide an unprecedented quality of care in your coaching practice.

Encouraging Purposeful Praise

Whenever I hear a parent shout "good girl" from across the room, I often wonder what message those words send to the child. Does it send the message that there is a time when she is bad? Does she think what makes her good at that very moment? Does she receive an empty message, not knowing exactly what "good" means? Does she think that if she doesn't perform to her mother's expectations she is valued less?

How Are You Taking Care of Yourself?

I hear you when you tell me you are busy. I understand the long list of items on your to do list that never seem to be crossed off even in spite of your best effort.

I know you have one last thing you have to do, but here is what I am going to ask you to do, in this present moment, if only for a minute.

Parent Coaching vs. Counseling or Therapy?

Wouldn’t the world be an incredibly effective place if we viewed each other as competent and knowing? Perhaps this ideal behind the parent coaching movement is the appropriate mindset and intention to help parents fulfill their roles consciously and parent effectively. In coaching, the underlying assumption is that the client is well and resourceful and can handle his or her life. In psychotherapy, the assumption is to treat the symptoms and underlying causes.

Potty Training Without a Power Struggle

When our children reach age two, it can be very tempting to push our children to potty train, whether or not they are ready. As a parent, when we see our children's peers master something new, it can be hard to sit back and wait for our child to naturally achieve the same developmental milestone. But potty training before you and your child are ready often leads to stress, frustration and an unnecessary battle of the wills. Fortunately, if you wait until your child is ready to begin potty training, many of the power struggles that traditionally come along with it can be avoided.

The best-selling book, Kids Who See Ghosts opens the door to a topic that has been swept under a proverbial rig and not discussed openly. In some households, kids are told, “Hush. Don’t talk about that. Don’t tell any one. You’re crazy. You’re lying.” Also, very few professionals who work with children want to talk about it.

I Still See Pap!

Death is a difficult subject for adults to understand. Children have an even harder time trying to grasp the concept. That someone they love is not coming back. When a family experiences the death of a loved one, adults may try to explain to the kids that their deceased loved one is in heaven or a better place. Most people believe in an afterlife in which the soul or spirit that inhabited a human body continues to live in some realm of consciousness. Yet many adults tell chi
