Parent Coaching

Our powerful coaching model emphasizes the nurturing of the
delicate bond between parent and child through an
attachment-based approach. Parents learn to:

  • Establish parenting practices that focus on the child’s underlying emotional dynamics rather than behavior.
  • Develop effective strategies to respond to maladaptive behaviors that do not undermine the parent-child relationship.
  • Identify and meet the unique needs of their children, creating the right conditions for children to grow into their most authentic selves.
  • Create an environment of physical, social, and psychological felt-safety.
  • Attune to their child’s feelings and accurately communicate them back to their child, preventing tantrums, reducing anxiety, and building emotional resilience.
  • Master the IDEAL Response (Immediate, Direct, Efficient, Active, Leveled at behavior, not child).
  • Master Levels of Response (Playful, Structured, Calming, Protective).
  • Understand the purpose and function survival-based behavior as well as how to support our children in getting their needs met in more attractive ways.
  • Master the use of proactive strategies for behavioral change.
