Frequently Asked QuestionsIs Parent Coaching the same as therapy or counseling?
No, parent coaching is neither psychotherapy nor counseling. In general, parent coaching is simply the practice of teaching parents how to improve parent-child interactions in order to foster a more positive family dynamic. Whiles some therapists and mental health practioners do incorporate forms of parent coaching into their practices, Parent Perspective™ offers highly customized guidance and education for parents in a non-therapuetic environment. At Parent Perspective™, our approach is to help parents establish perspective, technique, and confidence by: 1) Developing realistic and age-appropriate expectations for their child's conduct, 2) Effectively and positively communicating with their child, and 3) Learning skills and techniques to address various situations that arise during parenting. What is meant by “customized" education and coaching?
Parenting is such a personal experience and journey, and because each child and parent has unique needs, strengths and limitations, there is no one-size-fits-all solution to parenting challenges. Parent Perspective™ respects the unique attributes, desired outcomes, and cultural values of each family we serve. We know books and programs tend to be generalized and not always the best resource for a parent who is seeking help with his/her specific needs. What should I expect if I contact Parent Perspective™?
