Family/Step-family/Single Coaching

Family / Step family / Single Coaching

  • Do you spend too much time arguing with your children?
  • Is every night a constant battle to get your kids to do homework?
  • Are you tired of repeatedly asking your children to do something that they still won?t do?
  • Can you remember ever being on the "same page" as your spouse in terms of parenting?
  • Are you frustrated with constant calls from the teacher about your child's behavior or academic performance?
  • Do you go to bed at night and wonder why it seems so difficult to be a parent?

Step family:

  • Shock at the difficulty in blending two families with no idea of what to expect or how to deal with those challenges.
  • Difference of opinion with your spouse about discipline, with the kids resisting and resenting any involvement of the stepparent.
  • The feeling of like, much less love, is hard for you to find for the stepchildren.
  • You are embarrassed and don?t know just who to talk to about this stepfamily problem.
  • Visitation is dreaded because you know it brings anxiety, tension, and fights with your spouse and/or your ex.
  • Everything you do to make this work fails, and you are only left with frustration.
  • This brand new second marriage is getting buried by all of the problematic issues with children, dealing with the ex?s, visitation, and the financial strain of supporting double the houses.
  • The love that makes you feel so happy with your new spouse is undermined by fear of this unknown territory and lack of solution.
Nearly all people who are professionally involved with family problems advise pre-marital counseling for couples about to remarry into a step situation. 

With every problem there are always three ways out:

  1. Tolerate the situation and hope it gets better.
  2. Leave the situation completely.
  3. Change the situation so it suits you.

What is "Coaching?"

Through individual work with parents and children, we explore patterns of interaction among family members. Understanding each member?s style of engagement with other people allows us to begin to identify those behaviors that promote ? or block ? success.  Family coaching can help you reestablish the caring relationships that you long for in family life. Through this process, you will be guided toward a greater understanding of how each member of the family shows up in the world and what capacities and strengths are there waiting to be nourished.

Whether your children are toddlers, preschoolers, school-aged, preteens, or adolescents.  The knowledge they gained resulted in significant changes in their parenting behaviors ? changes that ultimately produced more cohesive and rewarding interactions with their children. You too can learn to be more effective as a parent.

Some topics are:

  • How to turn "judgments" into meaningful assessments that produce desired outcomes
  • How to stay "centered" when children push our buttons
  • How to create a family "identity" based on core values
  • How to manage the challenges of parenting of children of all ages
