Parent Coaching
Parenting Coaching is the application of parenting techniques in the home. Parents meet with a parent coach to develop a solution based family plan aimed at solving present issues that family may be experiencing. Parenting Coaching helps parents assess strengths and weaknesses, set goals, develop healthy communication skills, set boundaries, and more !!
​
What to Expect?
Consultation Conversation: Parents schedule a 20-min in-person conversation with a parent coach to talk about your family's expectations and to determine if parent coaching is right for your family.
Coaching Sessions: After it has been determined that parent coaching is right for your family's needs an initial coaching session is scheduled. Coaching sessions are approximately 50 mins in length. Sessions are usually scheduled 10 to 14 days apart to allow parents to implement techniques and tools discussed. Additional sessions can also be requested. Most parents feel 4 to 6 sessions are the perfect amount of sessions to supplement their parenting education, while some parents prefer less or ongoing support.
​
Who can participate in parent coaching?
Family First parent coaches work directly with the parents. We prefer that parents establish themselves as the authority figure and not the parent coach. Sessions typically include spouses, civil partners, grandparents, stepparents, foster parents, and adoptive parents.
