Parents of Foster Children, Adoptive Children, Children with Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) or other special needs gain new perspectives and experience personal growth working with Kim as a Coach. They learn to be therapeutic parents which is necessary in healing traumatized kids. The patience to love and bond with a child who is rejecting you and your love takes true committment and perserverance. Parents need support and encouragement while meeting their own needs as well as the needs of their children.
Parents gain motivation and new energy working with a coach, which enables them to pursue change and make positive choices. They become equipped to develop their dreams, endure set backs and embrace change. They can once again feel there is hope for the future as they experience their child's healing in a consistent and nurturing environment.
Through her Coaching Kim is able to be a partner to parents raising children with difficult behaviors, while they gain new confidence in their skills and learn to advocate for the resources they need. Parents who work with a Kim begin to acknowledge themselves and their successes with less guilt and frustration while also learning about the challenges faced by their children. Fear of a dismal future becomes hope and understanding for the parent who is truly committed towards making a better life for their family. Making a change in the perspective they have of their children can begin to create a change in the entire relationship. Parents learning to better meet their own needs are happier and successful.
A Coach is an ideal resource whether Parenting by birth through Foster Care, Adoption or still waiting to adopt a child. A Coaching Partnership can help you move forward to create balance and take better care of yourself. Through extra support with special needs challenges; parents feel less stress, isolation and learn to identify and prevent burnout.
If not already seeing a therapist some parents may learn that it is time to enlist that level of support. Some children may need Residential Care to create the foundation a traumatized child needs to begin the intimate journey of being in a real family. A decision of this sort can only be made by a parent and isn't necessarily a defeating set back. It may only be that parents are giving their child the best chance at a healthy life, which is showing them that you really care. Unfortunately, some parents will discover that there are children whose needs are so intense that the intimacy of a family is just not possible and a more therapeutic environment is necessary but it is possible to love and parent a child living in a Residential Treatment Center.
If your present situation isn't preparing you for the future you want, Kim will help you analyze your values, assess your strengths, the needs of your family and choose the best strategies to reach the goals you dream of...as a Parent, Wife, Husband, Foster Parent, Employee, Boss or family member.
