1:1 Parenting Coaching Program 8 Weeks

Service Description

Why? A heart-based approach to parenting is different than simple behaviour modification. It takes into account the biblical understanding of the heart as a place where emotions reside, commitments are formed, wrestling takes place, convictions develop, temptations exist, and where God wants to live. Behaviour modification basically says, “If you do what I say, I’ll give you what you want.” The problem with that approach is that it appeals to the selfishness in children. Instead of doing something because it’s the right thing to do, children learn to ask the question, “What’s in it for me?” In the end, simple behaviour modification develops people who are externally motivated. A heart-based approach takes advantage of the internal motivation inside a child. It helps children learn how to develop convictions, process offenses, and value others. It’s powerful and when parents focus on the heart, good things happen. I What? I meet with parents each week and we explore what are the challenges and the arena we want to focus on. We create a plan for the child, with goals and objectives that we can measure. I share strategies and tools that you can put into practice right away with children. You learn to parent the heart of your child and see lasting changes. How? Meetings: can be done both online and in person, depending on the preference for the parent. Materials: you will have access to online materials and books. Ongoing support: I will be supporting you throughout the journey, when you have questions or encounter challenges.
