What Parents REALLY Want for the Holidays
Dec 03, 2024
What Parents REALLY Want for the Holidays - What would your holiday wish list look like if you put what you REALLY want on it? (a peaceful family dinner, trust that my kids will end up OK, a tiny sliver of recognition, someone listening when I talk, confidence that I am a good parent, a night of uninterrupted sleep…). Asking for parent coaching this year means you can leave all this off the list next year - you’ll already have it!
Top 10 reasons to give (yourself, your kids, your partner…) coaching this year:
- Cost-effective! Coaching costs less than that trip you're hoping will be a nice memory untainted by tantrums (spoiler - it won't).
- Lasts forever! Coaching actually CAN create that happy vacation, plus years of harmony into the future, instead of fading away by mid-January.
- Always fits! You (and your kids) will never outgrow coaching.
- Low carbon footprint! Unlike the plastic gizmo destined for a garbage island by Spring, parent coaching creates zero waste and infinite reward.
- Actually matters! Coaching results in healthy parent-child attachment, the most powerful influence on your child’s mental health and success. The slipper socks you’re about to buy have slightly less impact.
- Promotes honesty! If you’ve been telling yourself you can’t afford this help but still buy your MIL a $150 sweater in hopes that she’ll treat you kindly in 2025, you are fibbing to yourself in several ways. Parent coaching strips that away so you clearly see yourself, your child, and your possibilities.
- Create ‘You 2.0’ without skipping carbs! We turn over a new leaf every year and hope to be better than last year. Unlike Noom, Weight Watchers, or the bullet journal in your stocking, parent coaching can actually get you there. Working with me will not only teach you amazing parenting skills, but you will also overcome blocks that have held you back your whole life. And I’ll NEVER tell you to give up cheese.
- Space Saver! The only real estate coaching occupies is a twice/month slot on your calendar and space in your kids’ hearts as you get better at being their safe place. There is no need to clear out any closets!
- Really works! You know that curling iron in your newsfeed will only make you look like a science experiment, right? Coaching, on the other hand, actually works. You really can change your kids’ behavior, the calm in your home, and your relationships. I can’t do sh*t about your hair tho - I’ll be honest.
- Tax & HSA deductible! Guess what happens right after the holidays? Tax season! Coaching is reimbursable by your HSA, and you can put it on your taxes. Just sayin'
Imagine giving yourself and your family the gift of peace, closeness, cooperation, and respect!
That sounds better than the pricey sneakers you're about to buy for your teenager (especially knowing she’ll give you the finger and slam her door in your face 10 minutes after receiving them).
If you're drawn to finally figuring out how to do this parenthood thing right, book a consultation with me now. For the rest of 2024, anyone enrolling in one of my coaching programs (private, couples, or group) receives a $500 reduction in their enrollment fee.
Ask for coaching this year! Maybe you and your partner decide to give this to each other. Maybe you decide to give it to yourself. However, we get to work together; this is one expense that won’t leave you feeling empty when the decorations are put away and the last bit of pie is gone.
