“It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men” – Frederick Douglas

What is Parenting?

As a parent coach, I believe that parenting is a journey, whereupon you are blessed with the responsibility of keeping another human being safe, protected, loved and well cared for, in order to grow and develop into a well rounded, independent and competent adult that is capable of looking after itself and its needs.

Parenting is a full time job, once we become a parent, we never stop being parents even if your child is not present with you all the time, the responsibility will always linger at the forefront or background of your mind.

It is probably one of the hardest jobs you will ever take on in your life but once you strive to do your best, it will be one of the most rewarding things you will ever do!

“The best kind of parent you can be is to lead by example” – Drew Barrymore

When you are heading off on your holidays and you are sitting in the plane, listening to the safety talk right before take off and they tell you the procedure for the oxygen masks, who do they tell you to put the mask on first?

My approach to parent coaching is to focus mainly on the parent. We will look at parenting through the lens of Personal Development and Well-being. We will take stock of where you are in your life right now, how you approach parenting and what influences/affects your approach. We will look at your needs and goals as a parent. We will explore topics that are relevant only to you.

Parent coaching is about supporting and enabling you to be the best parent you can be. I provide a safe and non-judgemental environment where we can investigate what is working well and what you desire to change or improve upon.
