WHAT IS A PARENT COACH
Coaching is essentially about self-development and as such shares many commonalities with fields like psychotherapy/counseling, consulting, and mentoring, among others. For one, they are all supportive in nature, in that they support an individual to go from where they are to where they want to be. The skills employed by these interventions are similar too and include questioning, listening, clarifying, reframing, and providing feedback. Another similarity is that they are client-centered and emphasize a trust-based relationship between the practitioner and the client for the intervention to be a success. Finally, they can all be done on a one-to-one basis with a single client or in a group with multiple clients.
And yet, despite these similarities, Coaching is unlike any of these fields of practice in some very important ways.
The most crucial difference between Coaching and the rest of these fields is that unlike the other practitioners, a coach does not position him/herself as superior to the client, but as a partner and a confidante. This is also a major factor that makes Coaching so popular and so effective.
Let us now very quickly compare Coaching with the related fields to gain a better understanding of what makes it a different practice altogether.

WHAT IS CHILD/ADOLESCENT COACHING?
The exchange that we make is for my time and services and not a guarantee promise of "sleeping through the night or your money back", while I know of consultants who do offer this, it usually causes unrealistic expectations of what your child is capable of, or doesn't take into consideration that all families are different and unique and in some cases sleep issues are very complex and circumstances don't allow a 'perfect' situation to completely resolve nightwakings.
