Linda has this amazing superpower that allows her to uncover family dynamics and situations that make things complicated for the family. Her expertise and knowledge are especially useful, but the best thing is that she provides tactical and actionable advice that you can start using right away. She makes her sessions fun and interactive and has helped my husband and me to better understand our16 year old girl. Less tears, less stress, more meaningful connections. Thank you, Linda!!  ~Andrea Ricárdez

In Understanding Your Parenting & Your Child confidential coaching series you'll go from struggling to handle advice (and criticism) about parenting to understanding how you want to be as a parent, as well as discovering for sure what your child needs from you. You'll learn the communication skills that strengthen bonds, and master your way of handling your child, and conflicting advice, with ease.

Imagine feeling really yourself as a parent, most of the time...

Imagine feeling confident and able to handle what's to come:

• your critics still talking (and contradicting each other)

• your unique child developing into their best self

• the life challenges and changes, both expected and unexpected

• yourself, becoming the kind of parent you have always wanted to be

Imagine having the strong social support network families need...

Parents who benefit from our mid-range program want to:

Many parents aren't prepared for the personal challenges involved in stepping up to become leaders as parents and to understand their children's uniqueness and why standard parenting advice often doesn't work... and that's okay. 

Some parents need more support of a different kind, first. Whether it's therapy for childhood trauma, or treatment for problematic habits, many people aren't yet in a position to really work on their parenting skills at a deep level. It can be too challenging to family taboos, or just too painful and overwhelming to touch.

We can still help, with some more specific skill building or through self-directed and self-paced courses that are less intense to go through. Some people are ready for the more basic Family Skills & Stragegy program... which is also a more apt program for people genuinely will never need the deeper understanding of their parenting or children...

There are parents who are struggling in their partnership, with a parent who is too disengaged from the family or relationship, or too defensive to commit to working on their family dynamics or parenting skills... that's okay, too. We can work with one parent at a time, on their skills and and strategies when they are seeking to improve... and we might suggest the Families in Conflict program, instead, to work on communicating more effectively together even if ultimately there is not an intact family unit.

And some parents just don't work well with Linda's quirky, light-hearted and often very direct style of coaching. Whether you're a parent who needs a softer, more sombre approach, or just very reactive to sardonic wit, we know that Linda is not everyone's cup of tea... and that's okay, too.

We happily refer parents to the program, course, book, or other expert helper (therapist or coach) we think is the most suitable to each parent.
