Parent Coaching with Kay Kimball Gruder reduces family stress and provides you with strategies to help your student as he or she navigates the twists and turns of the teen through college years.
It is natural to want to ensure your child's success. At the same time, the teen and college years are developmentally important for your child to take increased responsibility for decisions, interactions, goals and planning for the future.
It is this "inviting your student to be more independent" vs. "still wanting to know" dynamic that causes parents to to feel frustrated, worried, anxious and uncertain about their parenting and their young adult's ability to succeed.
-
Do you ever feel like you want to help your son or daughter, but you just don't know how?
-
Do you ever find yourself getting too involved and then kicking yourself afterward?
-
Do you wonder what's really going on?
-
Do you desire more strategies and tools to assist you in your parenting?
-
Do you want a greater understanding of the resources available to your son or daughter at their college?
-
Do you want to effectively guide your son or daughter to make the most of opportunities and challenges in college?
Choose a parent coaching program and provide yourself with time to reflect on your parenting strengths and develop strategies to effectively support your son or daughter in the teen and college years.
I offer an initial call, at no cost, to learn about your concerns with your child or children. I like to first talk with prospective clients about their desired outcomes, and at the same time you can get a feel for my skills, expertise and parent coaching approach. There are four parent coaching programsfrom which you can choose, including my Parenting Check-up. All the options consist of private telephone coaching sessions and are scheduled at your convenience and include an email summary of the coaching conversation and recommended action steps.
