Family Coaching

One challenge in parenting is finding the time to make a change. Between school, sports, music, homework, making dinner, or working full time, the patience, time and energy required to address specific issues with your child can be minimal, postponed or nonexistent. As issues arise on a daily basis, the need for ongoing support as a parent should not be overlooked. 

As a result of this, seven years ago Julie Freedman Smith and Gail Bell started offering individual coaching for parents and caregivers in a format convenient for busy households - over the telephone. It’s been a proven method of success for Parenting Power by nature of its convenience and flexibility. 

Coaching is extremely flexible and entirely based around your busy schedule. Consultation sessions can be in person, over the phone, and/or by email - whatever fits within your comfort zone and the demands of everyday life.  

Through telephone consultation and email follow-up, Parenting Power has been able to coach thousands of parents and caregivers across Canada and the US. Parents are consistently able to deal with issues as they arise, without having to interrupt their day, or hire a babysitter for younger children.

An overwhelming response from our clients to our individual and family coaching encouraged us to create a membership program, which allows scheduled, regular calls and emails on a monthly basis at a reduced rate.
