Swings and Roundabouts

Taylor & Francis

Parents often feel alone and the authors have found that running courses for them created a space where they could share experiences with each other as well as experiment with different ways of parenting. This coaching workbook intends to help parents get the understanding and trust in themselves to be the parents they dream of being. > The first two authors of this coaching workbook are themselves parents who have been on a journey of \""swings and roundabouts\"" - experienced the highs and lows of having children. Having difficulties knowing how to parent in many situations, which was not made easier by the conflicting advice in the media, made them unsure of their own parenting skills. This was one of the reasons that they entered into the field of parent-coaching. They were trained coaches who wanted to use their coaching skills and experience as parents to help both themselves and other parents get the understanding and trust in themselves to be the parents they dream of being.s
