Parent Coaching & Guidance
Empowering parents with the tools, strategies, and confidence to support their child's growth and wellbeing
What This Service Is
Parent coaching at GOODHANDS is designed to support you, the parent, with practical strategies, guidance, and confidence as you navigate your child's developmental, behavioural, learning, or communication challenges.
We believe that parents are their child's most important advocates and teachers. Our coaching equips you with the knowledge and skills to support your child effectively, respond to challenges calmly, and build a strong, positive relationship.
This service is not about fixing your child, it's about empowering you to support them in the best way.
Who This Service Helps
Parent coaching is ideal for parents who:
- Want practical strategies to support their child's development or behaviour
- Feel overwhelmed, frustrated, or unsure how to respond to their child's challenges
- Need guidance on managing difficult behaviours or emotional outbursts
- Want to reinforce what their child is learning in therapy
- Are looking for support with routines, transitions, or daily challenges
- Need help understanding their child's needs and how to advocate for them
- Want to build a stronger, more positive relationship with their child
This service is suitable for parents of children of all ages, from toddlers through school-aged children, and is tailored to your family's unique situation.
How We Work
Our approach to parent coaching is:
- Parent-centred: We listen to your concerns and tailor our guidance to your family's needs
- Evidence-based: Our strategies are grounded in proven research and best practices
- Practical: We provide clear, actionable strategies you can use right away
- Supportive: We create a non-judgmental space where you can ask questions and seek guidance
We begin by understanding your concerns, your child's needs, and what you are hoping to achieve. From there, we provide tailored strategies, demonstrations, and ongoing support.
Regular check-ins and adjustments ensure that the strategies we provide are working for you and your family.
What Sessions Look Like
Parent coaching sessions are collaborative, supportive, and focused on your needs. We discuss challenges you are facing, explore strategies, and practice techniques together.
Sessions can be one-on-one or involve both parents, and they typically take place in our clinic or online via teletherapy for added convenience.
Between sessions, we provide resources, handouts, and ongoing support so you always have access to guidance when you need it.
Parent Involvement
This service is all about you, the parent. You are the expert on your child, and we are here to support, empower, and guide you as you navigate the challenges and joys of parenting.
After each session, you will leave with clear strategies, tools, and confidence to support your child. We are always available to answer questions, troubleshoot challenges, and provide ongoing support.
Your involvement in your child's development is the most powerful tool for their growth, and we are here to help you use it effectively.
