Parent coaching is available in person, by phone or email.  Office locations are in the west-suburban Schaumburg area and in Chicago’s Loop.  Home consultations are available, much like those nannies on TV.

In two-parent families, it is recommended that both parents participate in coaching, so that they unify in their parenting methods.  Caregivers, grandparents, divorced parents, step - parents, teachers… all could be included in coaching for the benefit of the child.  Caregiver training is available.

Short-term coaching may focus on a single issue, but most often, we meet weekly for 8 to 12 weeks, for greater impact.
