The Family Partner
Coaching is all about assisting you and your
family to achieve your goals. Whether your children are
babies or teens, family coaching is designed to create
the whole, happy, healthy family environment you strive
for. It will require your family to fully participate
in the work. Committment is key. You will be busy, frustrated,
excited and joyful...for starters. This is a journey
in which all that is required is to do your best. There
is no perfect way to be a family. But yours can acheive
the excellence that you had always hoped for.
For families whose
oldest child is under 10, workshops are available. This
is an excellent venue for meeting other parents who share
your committment to making a difference in the lives
of your children. The workshops are also a cost
effective way to be a part of this life-altering program. Do
you know two other families that might be interested
in forming a workshop? The Family Partner is anxious
to work with you on this.
For families with
children over 10 and younger than 17, individual
family coaching is offered. We know that children
in this age range need more one-on-one time and we will
always take that time for them.
And then there are lots
of other kinds of families! You decide what "family" means
to you and let's talk about it.
Gain understanding of
what it means to be accountable as a
member of a family and the family as a whole system.
As a family learning the
fundamentals of how to be accountable, you will begin to
understand the diff erence between “being responsible”
to “being accountable”. Accountability is empowering,
recognizing that each choice you make either moves you
towards or away from the results you want.
Being coached throughThe
Family Partner program on the results you and your family
create will increase your awareness and accountability
for results
Clarity
around family values. Focus on identifying andunderstanding
the values of family members and the family as a whole.
As you clarify your values, you and your family will
focus on living each day centered on the valuesthat are
important to you. You will have the opportunity to see
if what you value is reflected in the choices you make
and to make the adjustment(s) required to align your
life with what you feel you want. From values come rules.
Get clarity on rule-making for your family.
Higher levels of
caring with acknowledgement and ceremonies designed
to acknowledge and celebrate each member of the family.
An often overlooked part
of our family is caring and ceremonies. Ceremonies are
the unique rituals we have within our family which are
the backbone of the family. These can come in all shapes,
sizes and importance.
Improved communications
and ability to resolve conflicts. One of the
most critical aspects of any relationship is communication.
The family will learn about effective listening, clear
communication regarding use of language and working with
and through confl ict.
More
time spent having fun together and learning to laugh
and relax. Focusing on creating fun within the
family, you will learn how to find the time in our busy
lives as parents and children, to find ways to laugh,
relax and have fun together.
A commitment to
the future. As you complete your family
coaching you will wrap up what has been accomplished,
acknowledge the work that has been done and focus on
the future. Where does the family go from here and how
to we continue to apply the tools learned?
