@rootsandwingschildhood ・・・ Here are the TOP 5 QUESTIONS I receive about parent coaching. Sharing them for you here in case you were wondering too.⁣ ⁣ 𝐃𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐟𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐠 𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐧?⁣ No, I work with parents who have children of all ages- toddlers to teenagers. The most common stages for parents to reach out are probably 3, 7, 13 because there is a very natural developmental pulling away process that happens and parents are rightfully confused and looking to equip themselves when their child pushes back or shows behaviour that feels triggering. The strategy, mindset and tools I use in my coaching practice transfer easily between ages and stages. I’m always customizing my recommendations based on each unique family and consider many factors including age. Temperament and personality and the dynamics of your family are a much bigger factor than age. ⁣ ⁣ 𝗪𝐡𝐲 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐈 𝐧𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐜𝐨𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠? 𝐈 𝐰𝐢𝐬𝐡 𝐈 𝐤𝐧𝐞𝐰 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐚 𝐟𝐞𝐰 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐬 𝐚𝐠𝐨.⁣ It’s true that parent coaching is still very new. I like to tell parents I am the person to go to between the classroom teacher and the psychologist. Teachers are overburdened and 99% of the time we can make huge progress without pathologizing a child. ⁣ ⁣ 𝐃𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐦𝐞𝐞𝐭 𝐦𝐲 𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐝 𝐨𝐫 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐦𝐲 𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐝 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐭𝐨 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞?⁣ Not at all. I really believe that parenting is an inside job. We are all just walking around parenting ourselves. Children are mirrors of their environment so when parents are open to doing the work within themselves, shifts happen very quickly. Continued in comments

Hey everyone! 👋 I wanted to share a bit of my personal journey as a parenting coach and how it's been a meaningful experience shaping not only my life but the lives of those I've had the privilege to work with. 🌈 👨👩👧👦 1. Strengthening Family Bonds: As a parenting coach, I've had the joy of helping families build stronger bonds. It's incredibly fulfilling to witness parents and children connect on a deeper level through effective communication and understanding. 😌 2. Fostering Emotional Well-being: My work involves guiding moms (and dads!) in managing the stresses of parenting. Witnessing the positive impact on their emotional well-being is heartwarming, creating a more harmonious environment for everyone. 🤗 3. Creating Supportive Communities: Every coaching session is an opportunity to contribute to a supportive community. It's amazing to see parents coming together, sharing experiences, and creating a network of support that extends beyond our sessions. 💪 4. Personal and Professional Growth: Being a parenting coach has not only allowed me to guide others but has also been a journey of personal and professional growth. It's challenging, but the rewards are immeasurable. 🌍 5. Advocacy for Quality Parenting: Through my work, I advocate for quality parenting practices and education. It's about empowering parents with the knowledge and skills to nurture their children into compassionate and responsible individuals. 🌐 6.

Parents, the issues your child has are usually your fault. I know that's going to upset some people. But in ten years working in education. And working now as a parent communication coach. I've found that parents often make things worse. Because they refuse to see that they're the problem. Young people are complex. And they can get things wrong. But I've seen so many parents do the wrong thing. They can't understand the issue. They can't understand why it's an issue. They won't educate themselves on the issue. They won't get help for the issue. And so parents rely on their gut. They act in a way they think is right. Intentions are usually good. But the strange refusal to ask for help is a concern. I had four calls last week with parents that wanted coaching. And all four told me the coaching was actually for their children. Addicted to gaming, behaviour is out of control, failing at school. Usual things. When I asked each parent what support they had put in. What they had done to change and learn. They didn't have an answer. I told them that unless the coaching was them I wouldn't take the work on. All four said they didn't want coaching. They were happy to spend money, but not on themselves. Coaching is an investment in YOU. And until parents realise that it's us that often need the help. Things just won't change. Parent communication coaching is to help you, the parent. To help you understand your child better. To communicate more effectively. And, in my experience, this resolves the issues. Always. #coaching #parenting #teenagers #askforhelp #parenthood

Parenting Coach: Hey everyone! 🌟 Let’s talk about something super important today—why we need to help our kids build their own identity. Parent 1: Oh, that sounds interesting. Why is that so important? Parenting Coach: Great question! 🌱 When we encourage our kids to make their own choices, it helps them become confident and independent. Parent 2: I’ve noticed my daughter feels proud when she does something on her own. Is that related? Parenting Coach: Absolutely! 🌟 Seeing their strengths and talents boosts their self-esteem. They feel valued for who they are. Parent 3: What about problem-solving? My son sometimes struggles with that. Parenting Coach: Helping kids face challenges independently enhances their problem-solving skills. 🧠 It teaches them to think critically and find their own solutions. Parent 4: I’ve noticed that my child is more open about their feelings lately. Could that be part of it? Parenting Coach: Yes! 💬 When children have their own voice, they’re more likely to express their thoughts and feelings. This encourages healthy communication. Parent 5: My kid has been forming stronger friendships lately. Is that connected? Parenting Coach: Definitely. 🤝 When kids understand themselves, they form better relationships based on mutual respect. It’s all about helping them discover who they truly are. Parent 1: This is really helpful. How can I learn more?

🌟 Structuring Your Child’s Routine for Positive Growth 🌟 Hello Parents! Are you finding it challenging to create a structured routine for your child that not only works but also teaches them valuable life skills? 🤷♂️👶 📚 The Importance of Structure and Positive Reinforcement 📚 A well-structured routine is more than just a schedule; it's a framework that helps your child understand expectations and learn responsibility. When combined with positive reinforcement, it becomes a powerful tool that encourages good behavior and instills a sense of achievement. 🌈 🌿 Natural Consequences: A Learning Tool 🌿 Understanding and implementing natural consequences is crucial. It helps children learn from their actions in a real-world context, preparing them to function effectively in different aspects of life.

🌟 Empowering Your Children with Incentive-Based Behavior 🌟 In the journey of parenting, walking alongside our children, rather than leading or following, creates a path of mutual respect and understanding. One of the most effective ways to guide them is through incentive-based behavior. Remember, parenting isn’t about control; it’s about collaboration. 🤝 🚀 The Power of Incentives 🚀 Incentive-based approaches focus on positive reinforcement. This method is not just about rewarding good behavior; it's about acknowledging your child's efforts and achievements, big or small. It's a way to motivate and encourage them, showing that their actions have meaningful and positive outcomes. 🏆 🗣️ Giving Children a Voice 🗣️ An essential part of this approach is ensuring that your children have a voice in the process. It's about listening to their needs and opinions, involving them in decision-making, and respecting their individuality. This dialogue fosters a sense of responsibility and ownership over their actions and choices. 💬 🌱 Why It Works 🌱 Incentive-based behavior is effective because it builds self-esteem and instills a natural drive to do well. It helps children understand the value of their actions in a supportive and nurturing environment, setting the stage for responsible decision-making and self-regulation in the future. 🌈 💡 Need Guidance? Eleva8Mentoring.com.au is Here 💡 At Eleva8Mentoring.com.au, we specialize in working alongside families to implement successful incentive-based strategies. If you're looking for guidance on how to integrate this approach into your parenting, we're here to help.

Your child’s voice and your guidance can make a beautiful melody. #IncentiveBasedParenting #PositiveReinforcement #Eleva8Mentoring #ParentingTogether #ChildEmpowerment #consulting #happyfamily #complextrauma #mentalhealth #thefuture #parentmentor #mentalhealthdignosis #childbehaviourexpert #happy #complexbehaviours #eleva8mentoring #behaviour

Recently, I received a feedback from a parent after the coaching. "A truly reflective process of great value for me especially as a first-time parent. Jeyla is patient and very intelligently guides you to amazing insight of how planning and determination can help you live a better life so that your children's lives and by extension, your home, can be light and filled with happiness. Exploration of the different parenting styles was also genuinely beneficial for me as I knew I wanted to do things differently from how I grew up from a schooling/teaching aspect. Sessions were concise and to the point, but I do believe I am still reaping the endless benefits from them. I am very grateful for the experience and will highly recommend her to anyone who thinks they may need a little assistance with being a parent or simply want to explore the different parenting styles." 🧡 The most heartwarming part of my work is to see how parents thrive and get closer to what they call 'dream' at the beginning of coaching process.

It is not the instructions we obey out of fear of the consequences that will follow if we fail to obey that will stand us out. It is rather the instructions we obey because we have understood it's place in the long scheme of our lives that will establish and stand us out. Remember all the times you were threatened to do a thing or the other, what happened the moments those threats or enforcers were out of your way? You reverted to status quo right? That's what it will always be until you see that those instructions are in your best interest, you will continue to make excuses and struggle to obey them. Toddlers are not left out in this human behavior. If you relate with them from the place of I am right and you are; I am big and you are small, I am strong and you are weak kinda air in dealing with them. It will only be a matter of time before they show you how fast they can get rid of your directions because you were not really directing them in the first place. You were rather commanding and have a field day with your emotional outbursts here and there. Are you still at loss with what to do with your children 3 years and below to best prepare them for the years ahead? Join the Early Years Parent Coaching program starting off in September and will run till December 2024 for as low as #20,000 (ie 5k per month) for daily guides on how to lay the right structures, habits, and effectively prepare yourself and your little ones for the years to come. There will also be an end of the month webinar exclusively for registered participants. You will also be in a supportive community of other parents whose children are in the same age bracket. You will have direct access to me for personalized guidance to navigate your parenting challenges in the early years. And lots more. Now you will agree that all of the above for only 5k per month (paid in a bulk of #20,000 for 4 months) is a real cheat. To come onboard this amazing community, pay #20,000 only into the Zenith Bank account of The Expectant Parent Academy using 1311250658 and forward your proof of payment on WhatsApp to 08133863236. The job of a parent is not an easy one but it can be made enjoying in the process through being in communities such as the Early Years Parent Coaching program. Let's build meaningful communities to win the collective wars against families and children. See you in class. #chiomaokoli #theexpectantparentacademy #pregnancycoach #earlyyearsparentcoach
