Ready to Calm the Chaos?
Would you like to do more than just survive until bedtime?
Parenting is a huge responsibility, a role I'm sure you don't take lightly. You've created this little person who's being molded and shaped by every experience and encounter, for better or worse habits are born. As parents, sometimes our communication styles unintentionally reinforce behaviors that cause drama and chaos.
Dynamic interpersonal relationships are built on effective, emotionally perceptive communication. It's more than just exchanging information. It's about understanding the emotion and intentions behind the information. You want the person you are interacting with to feel heard, understood, and most of all valued. People who are emotionally perceptive find it easier to form and maintain interpersonal relationships and are more aware of their own state of mind, enabling them to manage stress more effectively. Daniel Goleman coined this perception as "Emotional Intelligence" describing the elements of EI as being: Self-awareness, Self-regulation, Motivation, Empathy, Social skills.

Designing Effective Strategies for Managing Challenging Behaviors
Once you've completed the Parent as Coach series you're ready to move on to designing solutions to the specific challenges you are encountering and then implementing those plans and making necessary adjustments along the way. If you want to change undesirable behaviors, you must decide on an alternative behavior to teach them. It takes time to build new habits so that the default response is reliable. You must be vigilant and consistent in your own response if you want results.
So often we learn new strategies and techniques with the intention of implementing them and then our plans never seem to come to fruition or it becomes difficult to stay on track because there is not enough support.
We will assess and create practical plans for helping your children to develop necessary life skills that help them to communicate and respond more appropriately. You don't have to go it alone.
