With Help From A Parenting Coach Oakville Families Get Closer To Each Other

By Kenya England


The structure of society has changed significantly over the past few decades. In the past, the husband was the breadwinner of the family and the mother looked after the household and took responsibility for caring for the children. Those days are long gone. In most households both parents have to work. Children have to face challenges that previous generations never had to face. However, by hiring a parenting coach Oakville parents can learn how to raise their children in a responsible manner.

In the past parents did not have to raise their children in isolation. Families stayed close together and there were normally members of the extended family, such as grandparents, available to help with the children. This is no longer the case and in most instances the entire task is up to the mother and father. The absence of an extended family with nieces and nephews to play and interact with also caused a situation where many modern children grow up in relative isolation.

There are many reasons why parents start to struggle with raising their children. Children may become rebellious if they feel as if their parents do not love them and care for them. Modern children are also subjected to pressures their parents never had to endure. Many parents seek help only when these types of problems manifest themselves. To then restore a close family bond will take time, effort and patience.

The best time to hire a mentor is before the baby is even born. This is especially the case with first time parents. The needs of the child and the responsibilities of the parents change as the child grow older. By opting for early coaching parents can make sure that they understand the needs of the child and their role in the life of the child through the various growing up phases.

It is interesting to note that many child raising mentors spend almost as much time on the relationship between the two parents as they spend on the relationship between the parents and the children. The parents needs to be in a secure, loving relationship if the children are to brought up in a close family unit. In this way the mentor creates a holistic approach to the well being of the entire family.

The cost of hiring a professional mentor can be rather steep. Luckily, many professionals offer their clients a number of options. In some cases the parents and the mentor can interact over the telephone, by email or even online. This can make the mentoring more affordable. Group sessions are normally also cheaper than one on one sessions. In addition, many parents find that they actually prefer being part of a group of parents.

Hiring a professional mentor does not mean that successful parenting is guaranteed. The parents is and always will be responsible for the upbringing of their children. They cannot shift that responsibility onto the shoulders of an advisor, regardless of how experienced and well qualified that advisor is. Parents therefore need to be realistic and accept the fact their children are unique, with unique needs.

The enormous pressure exerted on families by modern society means that they need to access every possible source of assistance available to them. A parenting mentor can help parents to remain balanced and to raise their children in a responsible manner. There can be no doubt that strong family units equal strong societies.
