Parent Coaching
Are you feeling overwhelmed, stressed, exhausted? Have you found yourself snapping or yelling at your child because you didn’t have the emotional reserves to manage their big feelings or challenging behavior? Do you find yourself overloaded with "how to's" that don't seem to work in practice?
You're not alone. Many parents feel surprised, discouraged, or even ashamed when they find themselves reacting in ways they swore they wouldn’t, repeating patterns they hoped to change, or simply not knowing how to handle certain behaviors.
At Red Crane Psychotherapy Group, Linda Poggetti, LCSW, draws upon the expertise of Dr. Laura Markham, Dr. Shefali Tsabary, Dr. Dan Siegel, Tara Brach, Hunter Clarke-Fields, integrating attachment theory, neuroscience mindfulness, to help you develop a parenting approach that you can rely on even in the toughest of times..
Why Mindful Parenting?
Parenting is one of the most meaningful and demanding journeys we can take. It can also stir up emotions we didn’t expect—guilt, shame, confusion, and isolation. Our reactions often catch us off guard, especially with the people we care about most.
This program helps you recognize those moments as opportunities, not failures. You’ll learn to pause, reflect, and respond in ways that support your child’s emotional development and your own. In a supportive community of fellow parents, you'll discover you're not alone—and you'll gain powerful tools to nurture a more peaceful, connected family life.
