How Parent Coaching Transforms Family Life
Family life is rich in all ways. It’s hectic, chaotic, messy and full of clutter. It’s maddening, frustrating, joyful, heart bursting, peaceful at times and full of fun energy with a calendar that’s overspilling with busyness. Some days are the best days of our lives, while others make us unsure how to survive parenting day in and day out.
Parent coaching is a transformative experience incorporating positive and conscious parenting. Real life parenting; the day to day life we live as parents running, fighting the clock, the yelling and the perceived disobedience, coupled with seeing other families doing it with more calm only adds to our frustration.
