Feelings Aren't Facts - The Self Coaching Model
Jan 8, 202500:27:02Tap to summarizeHave you ever resolved to be a better parent? When we want to improve our parenting, or anything else for that matter, we often focus on just DOING better - do this new great thing, stop that old bad thing. But does that really work? A lot of scientific and therapeutic theories say NO! So if you've ever committed to a new way of being (um, hello, New Year's Resolutions!) and quickly fallen back into old habits, you are very normal. In this week's episode of Confessions Of A Parenting Coach, I will show you why that focus on DOING falls short and introduce you to a tool I teach my clients, The Self Coaching Model, that helps us address the thoughts and feelings that actually CAN help us change our behavior. It will help you improve yourself, but more importantly, it will help you understand how to support your child in changing their behavior, too! If you're ready to get my eyes on your parenting challenges and create a clear pathway to the behavior and relationship you hope for with your child, set up a free Discovery Call! I will learn about your family, help you see the roadmap to the family dynamics of your dreams, and decide if I am the person to help you get there.
