9. When Children Need Coaching

During this episode, parenting coaches Dr. Scott Turansky and Elena Zwetsloot are talking about the importance of coaching, as a skill for parents. The word “coach” implies two important things when it comes to parenting. First, the relationship is one of partnership instead of being a policeman. And second, practice is an essential ingredient for change, especially in deeply rooted issues.  Here are some things to remember about coaching:Kids can only take as much pressure as the relationship allows, so keep the relationship as close and strong as possible. As you coach your child remember that you are emulating what God does for us. He sends us a coach, the Holy Spirit, to guide, lead, convict, comfort, counsel, and help. A coaching attitude puts you on the same team as the child instead of encouraging an opponent role. Enjoy this episode and for more information on Elena Zwetsloot, please visit: www.elenazwetsloot.comFor more information on Dr. Scott's ministry and work, follow www.biblicalparenting.org.
