My mission as a Parent Coach is to create various avenues to educate individuals on the fundamentals of parenting and raising children that are misunderstood.  Through my coaching techniques, workshops and nationwide speaking engagements, I intend to bring awareness to families about the importance of effective parenting and how their actions help shape the future and characteristics of their children.

I got into this field the minute I became a parent.  I studied the ends and outs of my son: his smiles, his cries, his expressions, his speech, etc.  I was able to understand and communicate with him on a level that most people could not comprehend.   When I realized that he had difficulty expressing and communicating his feelings to other people, I began to take note of their reactions towards him.  Some people stayed away, some people judged him, some people came up with their own interpretations but all in all I realized that my son was being misunderstood.  There were a lot of underlying factors that they were not seeing or asking about.  They were just formulating their own opinions.

I found this behavior unacceptable and I knew if it was happening to my son, it was happening to so many other children as well.  As a parent, there are times that I get frustrated by certain behaviors or remarks made by my son, but I always have to take a step back and analyze where he is coming from or what he is really trying to convey.  Everything that a child says is not always what they mean.  Sometimes you have to dig deep and interpret their true meaning.

At this point, I found myself talking to more and more parents and counselors about children’s behaviors and the roles that parents play.  When I started putting the two together, I realized just how misguided many parents were.  I saw a combination of the old school parents that still have the mentality of “do as I say, not as I do” and the new age parents that are just scrambling trying to figure things out as they go.  So, this is where my quest and mission began.

I believe that effective parenting is the foundation for our misunderstood youth.  Many parents are afraid to admit that they need help or that they made a mistake out of fear that they will be labeled a “bad parent”.   Parents are human and parenting is a learning experience just like everything else in life.  As a Parent Coach, I take my clients through a series of self reflection so they can see how their actions affect their children, negatively and/or positively.  We work together to come up with solutions that will have the most positive impact on both parent and child.
