Coaching for Parents and Sons
As a parent, you may have noticed yourself becoming increasingly frustrated, resentful and concerned about your son. You are keenly aware that you son has lots of time, energy and motivation to engage in the stuff that he feels is important, but when it comes to the other things that are expected of him, be it schoolwork, helping around the house, finding ways to earn some of his own spending money, or being more communicative and collaborative with family, he becomes distant, dismissive, and often grumpy or angry. You want to have a good relationship with him, but there needs to be a better balance. He needs to step into responsibility in a way that balances the freedom he so craves. There needs to be a give and take in the relationship so it can feel good for everyone. You are keenly aware that something needs to change, but you are not sure how to create the necessary shifts. Luckily you don't have to do this on your own.
I work as a team alongside young men and their parents so everyone can learn and apply new strategies in an interactive, collaborative style. We'll work together to break down communication barriers, build trust, define structures that work for everyone, and move forward with more clarity and ease. When our work is done, you'll feel much more confident in parenting and can more greatly enjoy the ride. Your son might not say it outright, but he'll appreciate it too! With 15 years of experience in working with young men and their families, I've got plenty of parenting strategies in my toolbox that can help you to parent your son with more confidence and ease, and can help him to more masterfully work with his mind and body to create the full life that he desires.
