January-December 2010
I have been working with children, parents and families for more than 15 years; first as a preschool teacher, then as a Certified Professional Nanny, and now as an ACPI Certified Coach for parents and families. Throughout the last 15 years, I have continued my education and increased my expertise in child development, psychology, and parenting theories by reading numerous books, magazines, and articles.
I believe strongly in positive parenting; reinforcing positive behavior and eliminating punishment as much as possible. I understand children do not purposely try to anger people, but try to please their adults as much as possible. With this as the basic understanding, I teach parents to take a step back, examine the situation, and try to see the issues through their child's eyes. My goal is to help families create lasting relationships between parents and children based on respect and love, so as the children grow, they feel comfortable and confident about seeking advice from their parents.
As a Parent Coach, I work with parents to help them meet their parenting goals. I do this through education, support, and understanding. I use the knowledge I have obtained over the years from the courses I attended and the books I have read to provide informed suggestions to parents. More importantly, I use my hands on experiences to really understand what parents are feeling and living with daily to help parents create plans that will create solutions. I am passionate about the parent/child relationship and look forward to serving your parenting needs.
Sincerely,
Rebecca Magby
