"So what about the teenage years?"
I hear you ask! Parents of teenagers are relying heavily on the way they were parented to deal with their children. However, this often leaves them ill equipped to deal with the changing face of family and community life in a contemporary world.
Enter the Super Parent Coach!
We need to have the Super Parent Coach drop in to shadow coach the families with teenagers for a few days and offer the parents some strategies to bring more peace and harmony to the home.
What will the Super Parent Coach do?
She will teach the parents the "Seven Ways to Coach your Teenager" and at the same time will coach the parents around their new behavioural practices to assist their teens in building lives of confidence courage and compassion. At the same time bringing a feeling of mutual love and respect back into the home.
But don't wait for the Super Parent Coach to arrive on your doorstep, call her first and join a workshop or have some one-on-one coaching, so you can become the Parent Coach of your own household and learn new skills and strategies to coach your teens to build lives of confidence, courage and compassion.
