Parent Coaching:
What is Parent Coaching? It’s simply working with someone who’s trained to help you through the inevitable hurdles of raising a child. These hurdles might arise at any time, but especially when your family has experienced a major change (such as divorce), or when your child is going through a life transition (such as from junior high to high school).
