Parent Coaching
Are you at a loss for how to discipline your child? Are you trying to take care of a family member’s child or are you a foster parent? Do you find that popular parenting techniques of consequences, rewards, timeouts, etc. just don’t seem to work on your child? You are not alone. Unfortunately, children are not a ‘one size fits all’ and different techniques work on different children.
At Inner Refuge Therapy we offer parent/caregiver coaching to help you find the discipline model that will work best for you and your child. We focus heavily on Therapeutic Parenting Techniques that have been proven to work well with children who have experienced trauma, attachment wounds or who have Autism, ADHD, or are otherwise neurodiverse. We also pull from the latest research in neuroscience to give you parenting advise that is evidenced based. Because we know there is no ‘one size fits all’ approach to parenting, we rely heavily on your expertise and wisdom as parents and caregivers to guide us to the right fit for your family.
“Too often we forget that discipline really means to teach, not to punish. A disciple is a student, not a recipient of behavioural consequences.”
― Daniel J. Siegel, The Whole-Brain Child: Revolutionary Strategies to Nurture Your Child's Developing Mind
