What is parent coaching?

Parent coaching is supporting parents in their job of taking care of their children. A coach is someone who can reassure parents that they are doing the right thing, give suggestions and ideas based on expert's research while understanding that all families and children are different and unique. A parent coach isn’t that much different from a sports coach. A professional athlete may know just about everything that there is to know about their sport, but they still benefit enormously from having a coach. A coach can give them a different perspective, offer encouragement, change routine as well as push them to the next level. A parent coach does just that, but in the realm of parenting and parent-child relationships.

The earliest years are the most important years for shaping a child’s life; grab onto this opportunity!

Second guessing ourselves as parents

Posted by: Suzy Burger Categories: Behavior Positive Parenting

There are so many ways to parent out there- attachment parenting, cry-it-out, organic versus non-organic, that it can make your head spin.  Not one of these ways is the absolute best or worst way to parent (although you may hear differently from fanatics).    But one thing that any parent can avoid is second guessing their […]

“Why I won’t give my child a smartphone”

Posted by: Suzy Burger Categories: Behavior Unplugging
No comments

You’ll have to excuse the obscenities.  It is Louis C.K. after all. But he has some excellent points.  We have already established the no-devices-at-the-table rule, but I like the no-smartphones-for-the-children rule.  It will be a bit harder to enforce but worth it.  Children need to learn to be with themselves.  They need to be bored. […]

The last week has been difficult here in Boulder with rains and the flooding.  We were very fortunate, but others weren’t so. But what has cropped up after the floods, and after most disasters, is the community involvement.   People taking care of each other. One group that popped up on Facebook, unofficially called the […]

Quite possibly the most important parenting tool…

I have written about this before and I will write about it again.  Not only because it is wonderful, but also because I need reminders. Breathing is the most important parenting tool. I read a while back about meditating and parenting and I almost forgot about it since I couldn’t meditate before I had kids, […]

How to Tell Your Child “No” and be a Positive Parent

Posted by: Suzy Burger Categories: Behavior Positive Parenting
No comments

Saying “no” to our children is a hard thing to do, because the child doesn’t want to hear it and a tantrum will result later.   Tantrums have built themselves a bad reputation, and I have spoken earlier about avoiding tantrums; but they can be a learning opportunity.  A child who never tantrums, never learns. A […]

Parenting is no longer intuitive

Posted by: Suzy Burger Categories: Behavior Healthy Eating Parental Support Positive Parenting
No comments

Parenting was intuitive many many years ago.  In fact, the word parenting didn’t exist because it wasn’t a “thing”; it just happened.  People didn’t have discussions about parenting or whether what they were doing was right or wrong.  They just did. Nowadays, parenting is no longer intuitive, although many people will argue against that.  But […]
