I wish I was this light-hearted mom, whom takes things easily, knows how to laugh, be fun, calm, enjoy parenting and connect with my children. In turns, they would listen more and do as I say, without me having to repeat a thousand times, beg, threaten, punish or scream….
There is a big gap between the parent I wish I was and the angry, worn-out and irritated person I have become.
In parental coaching we work on that gap. We do some inner work (understanding what triggers us and why), and a lot of outer work (acquiring practical tools to make our daily lives easier).
Alfred Adler was a doctor, before he became a psychotherapist. He believed in preventive medicine and applied that to his psychology theory. He believed that if all parents of young children would learn about parenting, the world might be a better place.
I love working with parents of young children, because change and progress usually happens quickly! This of course does not mean in any way that it is ever “too late”. Change is always possible, it’s a matter of CHOICE! So if you are that tired and pained parent, and you know things could be better, please reach out.
