Many high-achieving parents excel in passing down their systems for success and goal-reaching methodologies. Unfortunately, depression and discontent permeate our modern lives, and achievement does not always result in feeling fulfilled.

By equipping children with strong emotional tools, they will be able to face challenges, build resilience during hard times, and continue to stay engaged in their lives, while many others check out.

• Desire a relationship with our child built on trust

• Try to make our children feel better -- but it doesn't always work

• Value emotional communication but struggle to put it into practice

• Feel like we failed when our child experiences intense negative emotions

• Become impatient and irritated when our child is angry and frustrated

Whatever your situation, you have what it takes to be the leader, confidante, and biggest supporter of your child in the way that makes sense and resonates with their unique personality.

It's not too late to get started.

Your counsellor will start by asking you to share parenting challenges and goals, as well as any emotional experiences that have influenced your parenting style. Together, we will review the principles of emotion coaching, including how to recognize children's emotions, how to communicate empathy and understanding, and how to utilize negative emotions as a teaching moment to connect with your child.

High-performing parents are often solution and action-oriented so your therapist will help you leverage these skills with a fresh perspective, leading to a deeper, healthier parent- child relationship that directly correlates with future success.
