An excerpt from a one of the very first songs my mom ever sang to me as a baby gives the perfect description of parenting.
"...lead me, guide me, walk beside me., help me find the way. Teach me all that I must do . . ."
Isn't that the epitome of parenting?
In my Precious Moments Journal from when I was 16 (don’t be jealous!), I confidently wrote that by this time in my life that I would be married to a wonderful man who helped old ladies cross the street, who could play the piano, who was taller than me and had an amazing job. We would own our home, my husband would love his job, and we would have amazing kids and would be so happy.
Guess how many of those things are true? 0%! I have referred to myself often in silence as a failure for not reaching any of my goals. The truth is…Failure is NOT the opposite of success; it’s PART of success. I AM successful.
Parenting (although to none of my own birthed children) kind of comes natural to me. I have ALWAYS been the biggest fan of babies. Like seriously, give me ALL the babies, I love teaching young kids, pre-teens can a little rough and I love me some teenagers! Before I got certified as a Life Coach, I think I took 7-8 parenting classes (again for my no-kids) and got Parenting Certified first. HA! Now, looking back I see how incredibly helpful it was.
While I believe the BEST Life Coach for a child is the parent... I ALSO believe that it truly does take a village. Yes, I coach kids, teens AND I coach the parents.
Parenting Coaching provides a variety of simple and effective strategies for parenting children from birth to adulthood. Whether you’re embarking for the first time conflict with "bad habits your kid picked up at school" or trying to navigate turbulent teenagers I have strategies and techniques will help you create calm and loving solutions.
