Who is a parenting coach
A parenting coach is a new term that many people are unaware of. I will take this opportunity to share the vital role of the parenting coach.
First of all, I want to clarify one of the most common doubts.
- Whether a parenting coach teaches the parents to raise their children, well, it is not true. Parenting coaches won’t teach “How to raise the children”
- My parents never referred a parenting coach to raise us. Then why do I have to?
Let’s have a look into these doubts and analyze it.
- Well, we were aware that our parents never approached a coach to raise us but are we aware of the stress they went through while raising us,
- Whether our parents had anyone to talk about the real struggle of parenting they had,
- whether our parents had a friend who heard their vent without any judgments.
- Whether they had someone by their side to support and help them regulate their emotions,
Well, that’s what a parenting coach do.
- They help parents to understand themselves better so they can handle the child better.
- Parents will have someone to share their parental experience and get a clear mind to lead their parenting life with less stress.
Let’s have a deeper look into parenting coach profession.
Parenting is a challenging journey, and we face numerous problems in our day-to-day life.
Role of a parenting coach
- How about we get a good friend to discuss our issue, so we feel good.
- How about the same friend who acknowledges your feeling without any judgements.
- How about the same friend who shares a few mindful practices to overcome the stress in your parenting life.
- How about the same friend who helps you find out the positivity and happiness inside you.
- How about the same friend who allows you to speak up about all your parenting issues without interruption.
- How about the same friend who makes you feel better in your parenting life
- How about the same friend who helps you to feel the calmness when there is a storm in your parenting life
- Who shares doable positive parenting strategies to follow in your regular life
- Who makes you feel valued as an excellent parent.
- Who helps you think, analyze, and act without falling prey to your emotions all the time.
- Who helps to understand yourself better to handle the child in a great way.
That one friend is the “Parenting coach.” A parenting coach is not the one who teaches gentle parenting always. Instead, they help you deal with your own emotions and bring out the child inside you to handle the child better on your own.
