Parent Coaching

WHO KNEW PARENTING WOULD BE SO HARD?

Let's face it, parenting was already hard when our children began to test their independence, and our patience, by triggering old parts of us that we buried long ago.

That was nothing compared to what we are facing now as parents.  As the world continues to change at a record pace more challenges are being presented that nobody has ever had to parent.  It can feel so scary to see our children exposed to things that influence them without  knowing exactly what impact it has in their minds.

Not only that, it seems like the connection to the internet is replacing human connection and we are slowly losing our family unit and the open dialogue that came with it.  It is no wonder that sometimes we parent from a place of fear or desperation because we want to protect our children from making big mistakes OR we want to give them opportunities and advantages that we never had.  While it comes from a place of love and we have the best intentions, we can't control how our kids think or choose their path for them.
