Parents Coaching Parents: How Parents Can Help Each Other Improve Family Communication Skills

More about the book

You don't need to be intimidated by the idea of being somebody's parent coach. Yes, many people make parent coaching their profession. For sure, they've had plenty of education and training to prepare them for these careers. But the idea that parents can coach each other while they're trying to be more effective parents is not revolutionary. For example, moms have been getting together to share their know-how with each other for, well, forever. Today, we call this helping activity "parent coaching." Coaching someone who is working to improve a parenting skill is more like being a friend or a mentor. You do it because you care about someone else's success. Very likely the person who needs your help is someone you know well. The purpose of this book is to give you a few ideas to make your parent coaching interactions more effective.
