The Family Coach Training
Approach - OUR PHILOSOPHY
Our approach
is a proven and practical model that coaching professionals use, which improve and transform the
parent-child or parent-teen relationship. It is based
on the roots and synthesis of life coaching, positive psychology,
Choice Theory, adolescent development, education and mentoring.
- As
professionals, we work with our parent, family and teen clients to help them examine their own
core beliefs and respect their beliefs. Parent learn to understand and guide young people as they map their goals, values, beliefs and profession.
- Instead of
teaching how to manage and control teens, our model helps us as adults
appreciate the unique perspective of teens and young adults and to
express respect, understanding, and support for who they are right now. This creates sustainable change.
- We
teach and coach parents in the Parent as Coach® Approach, which does not
dictate how to grow up; instead, the parent learns how to guide young
people to their own positive decisions, solutions, inherent gifts, and
the path to a meaningful and purposeful life.
Who
is the Family Coach Training Model and Parent as Coach®
Approach For?
The Parent as
Coach® Approach is for adults everywhere who find working with or
parenting thier teens challenging at best, impossible at worst. It doesn't
have to be this way. Relationships between adults and young people can
be rewarding, fun, endearing, and energizing.
Why Was
This Unique Coaching Model Created?
Out
of necessity for one parent.
- Founder and coach
Diana Sterling discovered that previous ways of parenting were woefully
inadequate as her child matured into a teen.
- This
everyday parent, trained as a professional coach, found that what
worked best in her personal relationship to her teenage son were the
skills and processes she used professionally with her adult clients.
- Coming
from her deep interest in wanting to help her teen and other young
people grow into happy and productive adults, Diana developed a unique
professional coaching model using the Parent as Coach® Approach for herself and for those who serve children, teenagers, young adults and parents
everywhere.
- Diana went
on to create a model for parents to assist their young adults. However it
was the increase demand from other professionals worldwide to learn
what was working with Diana’s unique coaching approach, both
personally and professionally. Her products and programs for
professionals are based around The Parent as Coach® Approach
and The Advanced Coaching Course, the flagship program for a
comprehensive and rigorous training for professional coaches,
therapists, educators, social workers, and anyone serving teens, young
people, parents and families.
- Our models
can be adapted to children, or parents of children as well, when you
take the core techniques and create new applications for this
population. Our students are wildly successful when their own
creativity is applied to their younger clients with our coaching models.
Young
people require adults who can help them to find their own way in life.
- Teens do
not want or need adults who tell them exactly how, what, and where to
do this, that, and the other thing.
- Teens who
feel heard and respected can more readily access their own sense of
self and create lives of joy and meaning.
- When teens
feel understood they work harder, display more interest and curiosity,
and are far more compassionate and easy to get along with.
- When teens
feel that they are seen as responsible, they become more responsible.
- When teens
feel appreciated, they are more willing to feel and show gratitude.
- When adults
open the lines of communication through the Parent as Coach®
role, the result can be harmonious and loving relationships that both
parents and teens treasure.
Why
Should We Care about coaching teens, young adults, parents and families?
- This is the most fertile ground for coaching! Using The Parent as
Coach® Approach as one of our base tools, we find that at the end of the day - it is about the safety, development, and happiness of the
teens we love and hold dear in our lives.
- As parents,
teachers and professional coaches and mentors, it is our responsibility
to help our young people to build the confidence to handle the ups and
downs of life, the courage to take on new adventures, and the capacity
to develop compassion for all living beings.
- As
educators and heath care professionals, we care because we want our
work to make a difference beyond reading, writing, and arithmetic. We
are responsible for providing our teens with the best possible tools to
make conscientious life choices.
- As
citizens, we care because we live in this world together. It is our
responsibility to coach teens and impart coaching skills to their
parents, to assist the young person to become proactive and accountable
citizens.
