Better Parenting Skills Program

It's not only children who grow. Parents do too. As much as we watch to see what our children do with their lives, they are watching us to see what we do with ours. I can't tell my children to reach for the sun. All I can do is reach for it myself
– Joyce Maynard

Great Parenting - your kids will love you for it!Parenting children (especially parenting teens) is undoubtedly the most challenging adventure in a person's life. Remember the first hours of being a parent? The unconditional love you had for this tiny new creature that did nothing but eat, sleep and cry, coupled with the enormous load of the new responsibility, from which there was no escape. A bit overwhelming, wasn't it? For parents of teens, it can sometimes be even scary. Who can you turn to for parenting advice? Read on to find out...

Check out our Sunday, 14 March parenting workshop in Brisbane.

 

Background

Great Parenting - your kids will love you for it!For many people, parenting their kids is one of the most fulfilling feelings in their life. Parents compromise many of their career opportunities to give their kids what they perceive as happiness, joy and love. Somehow, parenting our children is the most responsible thing most of us do in our life, yet we are doomed to experiment every day of our kids' life, through trial and error, to find the formula for better parenting. Parenting has been going on since the beginning of humanity, but many parents still feel they must reinvent the wheel over and over again and count on some mysterious instincts they are supposed to have.

Many parents report of having difficulties balancing their time between their jobs, their partner and parenting their kids. They also struggle to make whatever resources they have meet their kids' needs. This situation is reflected by their kids' behaviour and state of mind, often causing unhappiness, frustration and self doubt. Teenage kids make parenting an even bigger challenge. Luckily, help is just around the corner...

The Be Happy in LIFE Better Parenting Skills Program

Great Parenting - your kids will love you for it!At Be Happy in LIFE, we believe that better parenting skills can be learned. Unfortunately, we don't learn them in a structured manner during our life. Therefore, we react to uncomfortable situations, rather than having a clear vision of our desired family life. If you ask any parent in the world what they want for their kids, they will say "to be happy". Happiness is, no doubt, the most valuable feeling we can give our kids. Yet, since being a role model is our greatest tool to pass on our beliefs to our kids, it will be very hard to pass on happiness until we are happy ourselves.

Many parents, overwhelmed by their parenting burden, feel disappointed and failing if their kids' achievements and behaviour do not meet their expectations. One of the ways to handle these feelings is to justify the situation or blame themselves or someone else for the unhappy situation. We think this is a trap, which only reinforces the situation and increases the feeling of not being in control.

We believe that when parents are happy with themselves and clear about their beliefs and values, this will be reflected by their children, like little mirrors. Equipped with a coaching mentality and simple but powerful parenting tips to balance life, parents report they see a huge improvement in their parenting abilities and in their kids. In this program, we target your wellbeing as a parent, as well as your relationships with your kids, and focus on the connection between the two. This way, we allow your growth to inspire the growth of your kids without the need for them to attend the session.

Great Parenting - your kids will love you for it!Some of the challenges in parenting kids are strongly related to the parenting model the parents received from their own parents. Most of the time, this relationship included beliefs that are unhealthy, irrelevant and unsuitable 20 to 30 years after they were introduced. In the Be Happy in LIFE Better Parenting Skills Program, you'll learn to identify the source of your beliefs, assess their impact on our life, examine their validity and eliminates them if you think they are "unhealthy". In their place, you choose new beliefs that will promote relationships of support, love and good communication, which are so important for parents to have with their kids.

Our Better Parenting Skills Program is a future-focused coaching course for parents who want to break free from the common self fulfilling prophecy that "parenting kids is hard and that kids are terrible, cost lots of money and are never grateful for what their parents do for them". It is the best program for parents who feel they are blaming or justifying, but understand they only project their fears and anxieties on their kids and are willing to take control over their own and their kids' wellbeing.

In our Better Parenting Skills Program, we teach parents to coach themselves and their family towards positive thinking, self acceptance, appreciation, self confidence, love and caring. You'll learn new ways, integrate them into your life and get the philosophy and the principles behind them in order to be able to use them when needed, long after you have completed the coaching course.

We bring into this program 23 years of education and life coaching experience, coupled with 20 years of parenting to 3 wonderful kids who are living proof of what is possible!

Our Better Parenting Skills Program is delivered in Brisbane and all around Australia to a single parent, a couple of parents or to a group of parents.

What Is Parent Coaching?

Parent Coaching is delivered in two ways. One is a group experience, involving several parents, just like you, who come together weekly for 5 weeks to brighten up their parenting skills. Sessions are delivered in Brisbane and all around Australia (people have come to Brisbane for the 5-week parenting program from as far as the Sunshine Coast, Northern NSW and Toowoomba). The other is a series of 5 personal (one-on-one or one-on-two) sessions, covering the same essential parenting skills.

Your coach will get to know you and the other parents, will listen to what you have to say, will accept you, just the way you are, and will care about your family relationships as much as you will. Your coach will help you find where your communication with your kids may be stuck, where you may be sending confusing messages , and show you ways to create certainty and harmony at home. In a group, your group will also supports you and share their experiences for your benefit.

Your coach will also teach you some powerful and time-tested tools to "rearrange" your thoughts and feelings about parenting, about partnership and about kids and "make sense" out of them. These include

  • Positive language (positive focus)
  • Communication styles
  • Love languages
  • Beliefs and
  • Rules & boundaries

Your coach will also push you to practice these tools and use them in your everyday life, so that you will get results.
