About "Moving Forward Parent Coaching"
When joy and satisfaction in parenting is missing, it’s time to make changes. Parenting can get better. In fact, you can even enjoy your kids again. Working with a coach is a great way to get there.
As we begin our coaching session, we discuss your greatest frustrations in parenting, as well as what is working right now. We dream about what could be and discuss your highest hopes for you and your family.
The coaching workbook will guide us through the Connected Families Framework (see image below). We will discuss:
- “What’s going on inside of me”
- What’s it like to be my child
- How to identify and develop your child’s strengths, even when they’ve gone awry!
- Ways to help parents guide their child to be responsible for their actions and “make things right.”
Each session includes practical tools to start implementing today! Seeing changes in themselves as well as their child will bring hope and satisfaction in their relationships.
Moving Forward Parent Coaching offers a safe space for parents to explore their challenges and victories. Our coaching is designed to help you navigate the complexities of parenting with confidence and clarity and to MOVE FORWARD. We focus on actionable strategies that cater to your family's dynamics, ensuring that you feel supported every step of the way. Together, we can enhance your parenting experience and strengthen your family bonds.
And remember, “We’re Aiming for PROGRESS, NOT PERFECTION!"
What informs the coaches at Connected Families
- The Bible. We are followers of Christ and that impacts all of our interactions – including with our coaching clients. As a coach, I do not proselytize but rather guide parents in the way of wisdom and love. There will be a sensitivity to parents of all or no faith.
- The Connected Families Framework. (see image below) Everything we do at Connected Families is built on this framework and the messages that we believe all kids long to hear:
- You are SAFE with me.
- You are LOVED no matter what.
- You are CALLED and CAPABLE.
- You are RESPONSIBLE for your actions.
- The latest in child development. We believe that God has given incredible gifts and insights to researchers in the field of child development. We prioritize staying abreast of the latest research in the field.
Your family is unique, with its own challenges. Connected Families understands coaching is not one-size-fits-all, and will customize your five-session package to suit the specific needs of your family. During your sessions, a parent coach will walk alongside you and help turn frustration, anger, and despair into patterns of calmness, wisdom, and joy. You’ll learn practical tools that can be implemented immediately to address the daily challenges in your family life.

Testimonial
"It was really nice to spend time focusing on the positive things we are trying to do rather than just complaining about the challenges :) Mary was very warm and encouraging and able to re-frame challenging situations. It felt good to take time to try and be more mindful and purposeful about something that's so important to me." JENNIFER
