You’re at your wits’ end…
Your son used to be a top performer. Now he’s failing every class, doing zero schoolwork, with no gumption to finish anything. You’ve tried tutors. You’ve tried summer school (that was a disaster). You’ve tried sitting down to help with homework yourself. The home stays loud, with five kids and the two of you completely spent. Irritable. Frustrated with the children, and with each other. And one of you keeps coming back to the same quiet thought: I am trying to work on my relationship with my 13-year-old. She is heading the wrong direction, and I don’t know how to reach her. You’re at your wits’ end. And you need help.How I’ll coach you as a parenting team.
My number one intervention with parents is simple to name and harder to live: I’ll help you learn to value each other’s – and your kids’ – emotions, perspectives, and needs. We’ll work from real scenarios. You’ll bring me what actually happened this week, at your dinner table or on the way to school. We’ll walk through it together. I’ll listen for the emotions and beliefs driving each of your parenting moves. Then I’ll coach the skills you already have. I’ll teach you new ways of thinking, listening, speaking, and building healthier relationships inside the parenting team and with your children. When the right work happens between the two of you, the kids feel it before anyone names it out loud. I worked in middle and high schools for 20 years before becoming a counselor. I am certified in teaching Parenting the Love and Logic Way and The 9 Essential Skills of a Love and Logic Classroom.
Your home will sound different by next month.
After a recent family session, both parents told me the house had become noticeably calmer. The relationships among the children, kinder. At the start of another session, a mom said: “I left after the last session with hope for the child’s future. That was so refreshing!” That’s the result I want for you. Calmer rooms. Kinder siblings. A 13-year-old who feels reachable again. Your children are your legacy. You have a limited window to raise them with wisdom and good judgment. There’s no second chance at it. Done well, you’ll send them out into the world confident they’ll be safe and successful – and wanting to come back and spend time with you.
