Why is coaching so important for parents?

You may not think you need it but you do.

Parent stress is common and reportedly on the increase. The Parenting Science website describes parental stress as ‘the distress you feel when you can’t cope as a parent. The
demands are too high and/or you don’t have the resources to meet them.”
Parenting Science continues ‘Parenting stress damages your well-being and may alter the
course of your child’s development.’
Coaching can help parents to understand the causes and effects of stress and, vitally, give you
strategies which increase those all important parenting resources.
Look after yourself to look after your family.
