Parent Coaching

Parenting is an art that is mostly learned on the job! I can provide parent coaching to you and your family as often as you need it~from pre-pregnancy through the empty nest~. Schedule a session in my office, in your home, on-line or over the phone or Skype.

Parent Coaching can help you handle the challenges in today’s rapidly changing world by providing support, resources and tools for raising children in a new parenting paradigm. The results of parent coaching will help you to:

Feel better about yourself as a parent
Discover age appropriate expectations
Better understand child development
Gain a deeper awareness of the emotions that come up as a parent
Learn that discipline is not a dirty word, and that there are methods to do it right
Find ways to nurture yourself
Develop many, many other tricks of the trade

“Children come into the world like a packet of seeds with no cover on the front. Our job is very much like that of a gardener’s to provide the adequate light, soil, water and nutrients for the flower to grow to it’s full potential. It is not our job to raise a carnation into a rose or a rose into a carnation.” Dr. Katharine Kersey, author of The Art of Sensitive Parenting, my parent mentor, graduate school professor, and kindred friend.

My daughter, Elizabeth Ashley Herman also provides coaching, and teams up with me for our Moms in Real Life events.
