Professionals often call us to consult and ask if a particular family falls under the scope of what we do here as coaches.  Generally, the answer is yes, because what we do is help parents make a plan, and often work with them as that plan is implemented. Each family’s plan is completely unique based on what they want.
In this episode we just chat about what we do and how that helps parents build a plan of their own to build a strong healthy bond with their child.  As parents of adolescents, we are faced with many decisions, as are our children. How does a parent make a plan that feels solid and grounded and followable? Not by following ten simple steps!  “The best laid schemes of mice and men often go awry.” Whose life are we planning at this transitional age? It’s tricky, it’s a balance. Sometimes parents have a plan, but don’t know how to implement it, what steps to take next.  Because each plan is unique and building change takes time and patience and readjusting, touching base weekly or even daily at times, like a GPS system helps keep parents on their path. A basic plan helps parents offer assistance to their child- without jumping or falling into the water with them. 
Extra bonus: also in this episode we touch a little bit on our own parenting a teen journey, and what that plan looked like.
Practice: Think for a few moments about what you want to work on or do-from meditation to what to eat for lunch- and make a plan!
