Specialty Niche

Coaching Parents of Tweens and Teens

Parental Coaching is a growing specialty niche, and this seminar can give you the knowledge and the background to position yourself as an expert in this field.  It also adds value to your practice by further building and branding you as a specialist.

Today’s parents are yearning for guidance in raising their children. No longer the sole definitive authority in their children’s lives, they face increasing competition from the media, their children’s peers, and especially the internet, and vie to remain a relevant sphere of influence in their own children’s lives.

Faced with an barrage of negative stimuli --  from media messages of hyper-consumerism and ‘Keeping Up With the Joneses’, to the immense social pressures to fit in – teens are especially prone to losing themselves to outside influences.  Not only do these influences serve to divert or misdirect a teen’s natural talents, they also often put teens at risk -- physically, mentally and emotionally.

Frustrated, parents increasingly find themselves at a loss as to where to turn.  That’s where you, the Parenting Professional, come in. The role you play is an increasingly important one in giving parents the tools they need to raise their children to become capable, self-reliant adults.

During this valuable training, you’ll learn skills that will help your clients gain confidence in their parenting abilities, as well as give them the innovative tools necessary to empower their teens.

Topics we’ll cover include:

 
  • How to work with personal styles, strengths and skills

  • Communication strategies

  • Helping teens achieve Wholeness and Authenticity

  • Tools to help develop Optimal Personal Performance and Health

  • Navigating the Sea of Adversity so teens can Sail on to Success

  • Instilling self-confidence teens & improving self-image from zero to hero

  • Teaching Positivity to redirect thoughts and perceptions

… and more!!!

Parental mistakes abound, and run the gamut from hovering ‘Helicopter Parents’ who try to do everything for their kids, to parents who give their children so much freedom that boundaries are almost non-existent.

 The tools and exercises you’ll reap from this seminar will help you learn to recognize and gently correct common parental missteps, while encouraging parents to transcend their roles as mere caretakers and instead become active Life Coaches and Mentors in their children’s lives.

 And when you use these teen-coaching methods yourself, you’ll not only instill valuable life skills in the adolescents you treat, but also bestow on them a much more lasting gift.  By endowing teens with the tools they need to become self-reliant problem solvers -- ones who can think critically and creatively – they’ll be well prepared to venture down their unique paths towards self-fulfillment and personal achievement.
