My approach to working with new parents might be considered a form of coaching: Identifying personal strengths that have been useful in the past, creative use of resources, restorative individual activities, and attending to needs of the couple’s relationship. In this approach to New Parent Coaching, you will be consciously choosing the ways in which you want to respond to your baby instead of reacting to your baby from unknown sources that have influenced your growth from infancy to the present moment. In a supportive, nurturing environment, parents and babies can grow to be the best they can possibly be.
