How does a parent coach help?

As a special education teacher with twenty years’ experience, parents have expressed an array of concerns regarding their child’s development from skills set (i.e. talking, attention span), developmental delays (Autism, ADHD, etc.) to behavioral challenges (i.e. defiance, temper tantrums). 

As a special education teacher with twenty years’ experience, parents have expressed an array of concerns regarding their child’s development from skills set (i.e. talking, attention span), developmental delays (Autism, ADHD, etc.) to behavioral challenges (i.e. defiance, temper tantrums). The one thing that remains consistent is that you can’t change behavior WITHOUT changing the environment. Changing a child's environment is a highly effective, proactive strategy to encourage positive behavior. A parent coach can help with modifying the physical space, routines, and emotional atmosphere so that parents can directly influence behavior patterns, making positive actions more likely and reducing challenging outbursts. Changing the environment, rather than just reacting to behavior, helps children learn to manage their emotions and self-regulate.

Identify Specific Concern, Observation, and Assessment

We provide personalized consultations through in-person or telehealth observations of the child and parent/caregiver within the home environment. At MJSCDPC, we observe your child in their natural setting and daily routine. This approach is crucial for assessing the child’s overall skill set in relation to developmental milestones, identifying potential behavioural problems, and delivering comprehensive child development services.

Personalized Treatment Plans

We understand that children are unique individuals, each with their own personalities, strengths, and needs. Similarly, the adults who care for them bring their own distinct traits and experiences. The key difference is the life experience adults possess, which allows them to create a nurturing environment that supports a child’s growth and development.

At MJSCDPC, we provide comprehensive child development services, including personalized consultations to develop individualized treatment plans focused on your concerns, especially those related to behavioural problems. Our plans are thoughtfully crafted with these differences in mind to promote effective follow-through and lasting success.
