A Typical Coaching 1st Session includes:
1/2 hour Intake Call
- General and pertinent information provided by client.
- Concerns with examples given by parent(s).
- Parenting objectives and goals stated by parent(s).
- Parenting coaching meeting scheduled.
Tailored Strategy
Next, Lori tailors a strategy specifically for the parents and their unique concerns. If the parent coaching meeting is to occur via phone or computer, payment is requested prior to the actual coaching session.
1 hour Coaching Session
- This can be done via phone, video conferencing, in the client’s home, or at an agreed upon location. The place or venue coaching occurs depends on the on needs and circumstances of the client.
- Lori and client discuss the strategies suggested. Lori listens and together the approaches are tweaked as needed.
- A follow up session is scheduled.
- Payment due at this time for clients seen in person.
Practice Strategies
After the coaching session the client puts the strategies into practice for seven to ten days. (Unless a different time frame is agreed upon.) The client notes successes and continued challenges. Following seven to ten days of implementation the follow-up appointment occurs.
1/2 hour Follow-Up Session
- Discuss week’s experience. Adjust where needed. Determine if a second parent coaching session is appropriate. If so, schedule next appointment.
- Note: The most satisfying experience with better results and a swifter resolution to those parenting concerns occurs when both parents are part of the process.
- Contact Lori for fees and availability.
