Testimonials
I was able to see the difference a 'coaching' approach made within my family. Consistency is something that I have struggled with but my awareness of this is leading to positive change within the family. Not only was there focus on my son, but I learned more about myself and my needs and how this impacts on the family.Colleen - mother of a teenage son and a preteen daughter
My conversations with my children are now lovingly directed and controlled rather than just a 'conversation'. I have a better understanding of them and their wants and desires and they have a more respectful and sharing understanding of mine. My approach has changed for the better and therefore my relationship has strengthened, they are more relaxed with life in general and the things that I worried about are now happening naturally………it is an effortless yet dramatic turn around – one which Tracy introduced with the loving enthusiasm it deserves. Gregg - single father with sole custody of two teenagers
The principles behind the Parent as Coach Approach are not rocket science, but both the book and the course are put together in a simple and practical way that helped me actually implement the 7 key steps. Tracy's coaching is a great forum for highlighting key issues, sharing real experiences in parenting and coaching teenagers and workshopping some coaching approaches that have real meaning for both parent and teenager. It is surprising how much and quickly you can change your own mindset and it is interesting to see the positive impact this has on the family in general. There are plenty of testing times, and the changes are gradual, but its worth persisting! Roger – father of two teenage boys 13 & 16
