Parent Coaching is helping someone become clear on their own parenting goals through listening, asking powerful questions, teaching skills and providing support to bring about change. This certificate teaches coaching skills to apply with parents and families. It provides a framework for parent coaching, its theories and its applications: with an emphasis on the benefits of Parent Coaching as a separate field.

To pursue a career as a parenting coach, students should plan to earn a minimum of a bachelor’s degree. This certificate makes for a great addition as a current family life educator seeks to expand their practice.
