Parents of a college student often feel pulled in many directions, experience information overload, and feel overwhelmed by the choices and decisions that they and their son or daughter face. The stressors are often magnified if they are going through this process for the first time, or when their child is the first generation to attend.
Parent coaching can provide families with:
- new ways to address challenges;
- enhanced knowledge of college resources;
- time to identify goals and strategies in parenting their son or daughter;
- an understanding of their child’s development and growth;
- opportunities to reinforce what is already working;
- support through transitions;
- dedicated time to think out loud in partnership with an experienced coaching professional.
Parent coaching can be arranged with individuals or smalls groups who share similar challenges or concerns.
When parents are less stressed they parent more effectively and can be better partners in working with you.
