Coaching for Parents
Be the Best Resource for your Child.
Are you struggling with a child who doesn’t listen or follow rules? Is your child acting out or unmotivated at school? Are you worried about your child’s behavior? Is your child showing signs of loneliness or anxiety?
There are many reasons children can become a concern and source of stress for parents. Raising children in today’s fast paced world is not for the faint of heart and it can be overwhelming dealing with an abundance of electronic gadgets and social media on top of all other parental responsibilities.
The Parent Hope Project was developed by Dr. Jenny Brown (Brown, 2018) in Australia. Informed by Bowen Family Systems Theory, this program is developed specifically for parents who are committed as a parent to be the best resource possible to their vulnerable child/children.
The coaching program aims for parents to:
Optimize the way you support your child’s wellbeing
Shift focus to yourself rather than trying to change the young person
Promote more autonomy and responsibility in your child through how you manage yourself
Help you get back on track as a loving and firm leader
Establish a longer-term project of parent leadership. This is not a quick fix, but with changes to old patterns of interaction, the child is helped to gradually improve the way they manage their own life challenges.
A central idea of the Parent Hope Project is that when parents shift from trying to change their child and instead invest in what is in their control as parents, new and hopeful opportunities emerge. This program is about parents shifting their focus from changing or trying to fix their child, to parents making changes to themselves and adjusting how they interact with their child.
This program is NOT about blaming parents as symptom development in children can have biological roots and include a child’s larger family and social environment. However, parents can be vital to reducing symptoms in their child/ren by how they interact and manage themselves with and around their child/ren. As a result, parents often gain confidence and hope, while shedding guilt and despair in the process.
The Parent Hope Project is a specific and manualized program for parents who have a child struggling with mental health and/or social/behavioral symptoms. The program consists of 1 introductory session, followed by a 6-session individualized coaching program. A review session at the end is optional.
The fee for this program is $1750 for 7 sessions or $275 per session.
