Parent Coaching
Being a parent is the hardest job there is and most of us don't receive training.
Adding parent support to your village helps.
Parenting in an ever-changing world and in a culture or country different than the one you were raised in adds a whole other level of complexity and, often, frustration.
Maybe you're parenting away from your extended family,
maybe you're navigating raising children in a brand new place and balancing the needs of your own well-being and that of your children is just to much,
maybe you are trying to navigate raising children while integrating multiple cultures or ethnic backgrounds. Whatever your story- I am here to help.
Big Parenting Choices
There's so much you can do to prepare mentally, emotionally, and physically to give your family the best foundation. Navigating the big life decisions as a team well is one of them. Sometimes we get gridlocked, face decision fatigue, and find ourselves at odds with our loved ones simply out of not wanting to make the "wrong choice". Allow me to offer objective guidance in helping your family make the biggest choices you will face.
Common coaching questions are:
Is it the right time to start a family? How do I know if I am ready to have a child? Can we start a family abroad? Should we have another child? Should we move? Is our family working well together?
Postpartum Support
The first year is transformational. Becoming a parent is arguably one of the biggest changes one ever experiences and with change comes stress. Add on the stress of living away from family or in an unfamiliar culture and the overwhelm can easily become too much to bear. From navigating feeding, sleeping, development, postpartum recovery, making choices based on the culture you are surrounded by, we can discuss it all. Participating in coaching after becoming a parent can help you connect with your child and reconnect with yourself and your partner, if applicable.
Raising Children
After you've figured out one part of parenting, your child's needs, wants, and behaviors change and develop leaving you puzzled all over again! Parenting can be rewarding and joyful but sometimes we lose sight in the relentless day to day and find ourselves stuck in unhelpful patterns.
Parent Coaching can address a variety of things including: unwanted behavior, sibling rivalry, communication barriers, and partner conflict related to parenting. We will focus on your connection to your child and how to raise your children in a respectful, effective way.
Sessions are offered in person in Dubai, UAE at Insights Psychology or virtually. ​
