Considering Improving Your Parenting Skills in 2014?

The  holidays are behind us and the kids will soon be back in school. Did you make any parenting resolutions for the new year?

The beginning of a new year is a good time to evaluate your parenting skills. What presented the biggest challenges to you during the past year when it came to being a parent? What frustrates you the most about your parenting? 

Select one of those challenges, I suggest the one that occurs most frequently, and make it a goal to find some new ways to deal with this challenge. That might involve reading a book (I can suggest some - simply post a comment) taking a parenting class or consulting with parenting coach or therapist for help specific to your family situation.

I work with parents all the time teaching them how to respond to their children in ways that will make life easier and life stressful. I help them come up with bedtime routines and other strategies for managing child behavior problems.  

I have a flexible schedule to accommodate the busiest of parents. I would welcome an opportunity to meet with you for a consultation to discuss how you can be the parent you want to be and make 2014 a year where parenting is less stressful and more rewarding.
