The challenge to raise a healthy family is like no other in the world.
Navigating the parenting process can be difficult at times for
families even with the best support. Paramount for parents is their children’s education and their physical safety
not only within the education system but also as they grow up
in this world today. Parent Coach can support you in this process
and help you develop a road map to creating an effective parenting
style.

Fathers Standing Up
On the other side of “deadbeat dads” and absentee
fathers are the fathers that take on their parental responsibility.
A recent internet search on the keyword phrase “parenting”
revealed hundreds of websites. On closer inspection, the majority
of chat rooms and bulletin boards visited were geared to mothers.
Although slowly changing, information and support about the
importance of the father’s role (whether as a single
or married father) in children’s lives has been inconspicuous.
At best, this deficit has left some fathers experiencing anger,
confusion, loss, and insignificant as a parent. At worst,
it reinforces the notion that the father’s role in children’s
lives is second to that of the mother.
Non-Conventional Parents
Parenting is not limited to moms and dads. Today, people other
than moms and dads have taken on the parenting role. This
list includes grandparents, stepparents, aunts, uncles and
other extended family members, friends, and guardians who
love, care and want the very best for the children in their
charge yet face their own special challenges in accomplishing
this monumental task.
