Do you want to stay connected to your children?

Are you unsure how to create your own parenting style?

Are you prepared for what’s next?

Parenting is all about building a secure and loving bond with your child so they can feel safe enough to learn about the world. Research undeniably proves that a dad who takes the time and energy to truly connect with each of their children, nurture a child who is more confident and emotionally secure. These are the essential traits for establishing social relationships and helping children grow the courage and tenacity to pursue their own goals. Parent coaching for dads focuses on helping dad strengthen that bond.

Research also shows that children who have quality time with their dads are more likely to show benefits emotionally, socially, and academically than those with dads who are not emotionally present. Your paternal instincts balance and support mom’s maternal ones. When a child misses the experience of bonding with their father, they struggle to learn how to be in a relationship with a man or how to be a man in our society. Ideally, it is with the combined efforts of both mom and dad that cultivate an environment in which your children thrive.  Coaching dad on how to maximize that time and attention.

What About Divorced Dads?

Quality time can be especially hard for dads who are single parents or are divorced. As a Parenting Coach, I help dads forge an authentic relationship with their children, avoiding the “Disneyland Dad” phenomenon that often creeps into a relationship with the built-in time limits of a joint parenting plan.

The most difficult part of a divorce or custody dispute is to stay focused and on task. You still have to live, work; take care of yourself and your children. Divorce and custody disputes can cause tremendous tension for any parent, leaving you emotionally pained, disheartened, and feeling very alone. Fortunately, you can learn how to handle this stress and realize you can control how you react. How you respond to the events with your children is key to making the best decisions for your family and maximum progress in your new life.
