What Is Parent Coaching?
At Daurio Counselling, we recognize the vital role parents play in their child's life, serving as a cornerstone of support through life's challenges. We strive to empower parents to become their child's primary source of guidance and support. Understanding that every parent is doing their utmost with the resources available, our parent coaching services are designed to help caregivers cultivate healthier parenting patterns and strengthen parent-child relationships.
Parent coaching is a strengths based approach that is focused on parent education and empowerment. Coaches are able to empower you with various tools that you are able to choose from. We will never tell you how to parent, but rather work with you to identify the tools that will work best for your family and child.
The coaching process begins with an assessment to identify strengths and areas for improvement, leading to the establishment of clear, measurable goals. Throughout the coaching relationship, ongoing support and accountability assist clients in implementing new strategies and habits into their daily lives.
