Parenting Coaching Self-Assessment

How do I know if I need parent coaching?

Parents from all walks of life often wonder whether their parenting style is effective. Receiving support from a trained professional can help parents foster resilient family environments.

The following statements may help you to determine whether you could benefit from parent coaching. As you read them, think about whether you agree or disagree.

1. Sometimes I am unsure of how to discipline my child/children.
2. There are days when I feel stressed trying to manage a family along with work and other demands.
3. Sometimes it feels like my child/children don’t communicate well – it’s like we’re speaking different languages.
4. I am separated from my child/children’s other parent and trying to cope with managing things across two households can be challenging.
5. I am a single parent and recognize that this can come with its own set of challenges.
6. I want to know more about my child/children’s development and what milestones I should be looking out for.
