About Wildroots Parent Coaching
What is Parent Coaching?
The Short Answer...
"Parent Coaching is a relationship where a coach supports, collaborates with, and facilitates client learning by helping a client to identify and achieve future goals through assessment, discovery, reflection, goal setting, and strategic action."
~ Dr. Brenda Wilkins
The Long Answer...
In our sessions, I aim to deliver parenting ideas and inspiration to the places you feel stuck with humor, steadiness, and empathy. In the sessions, you bring what's on your mind and your heart regarding parenting. We start by digging into the strengths of you and your family. Next, we collaborate to look for solutions to what you came to coaching for. We name the areas where you want to grow as a parent and create a vision together of how your ideal situation looks. Now we have a road map and can get to work looking for new approaches. Then you give the new strategies a try. Throughout the process we take time to reflect as positive changes unfold. In our final session we look back at the changes you have created in your family and look ahead to what's next for you on this journey.
