Parent Coaching Programme
When the honeymoon period of pregnancy comes to an end, the realities of parenthood can come as a bit of a shock. Whilst we think we are prepared for sleepless nights following a pregnancy full of them, we are little prepared for the rigours of parenthood. Incessant feelings of exhaustion and overwhelm coupled with the emotional tug of love and parental responsibility is often overlooked by ‘how to’ manuals, leaving parents feeling inadequate and out of their depth.
Babies simply don’t conform to meticulous time schedules and frankly nor should they be expected to. They are as individual as their parents and are better suited to routines that take their individuality into account. They do test our ability to adapt and juggle more challenges than we were previously used to and they stretch us beyond the demands of a normal working day. This is why the support, understanding and objectivity of someone who has walked in the same shoes can be a real bonus and help you to unearth your instinctive parenting skills and create simple, practical steps to make life as a parent much easier.
My role as a parent coach is to help you take a step back from your situation whether you are completely new to parenthood or facing new challenges with a second baby on the scene. Now whilst we can all draw on some good advice from a parenting manual, there really is no substitute for the unbiased support from a fellow parent who can listen to your challenges with empathy, help you to find your own solutions and support you as you implement them. As a mother who juggles family life, marriage and a busy practice, I know how challenging it can be to keep things in balance but equally how important it is too.
You can choose support through regular sessions to keep you focused and looking forward to each new parenting milestone with confidence or opt for adhoc sessions to clear emotional overwhelm and help you put a plan in place to navigate challenging periods of parenthood.
One of the foundations of any coaching programme revolves around life balance. Having a baby can send a once orderly lifestyle into total chaos over night, so our eye is always firmly focused on how we can improve and maintain this delicate balance between your role as a parent, a partner, your work obligations and time for yourself.
Coaching session can take place face-to-face, over the phone or in a mixed format to suit your schedule. All coaching arrangements have either email or telephone follow-ups built in, so you can feedback on progress and iron out any wobbles along the way.
