Kids don’t come with manuals; most parents need a coach to teach them the skills they need to make their parenting more joyful and effective.
Dr. Christine Carter coaches families on the following topics:
- Eliminating family “pain points,” or routines that aren’t working, e.g., around homework, bedtime, or trying to leave the house in the morning
- Making choices between work schedules and childcare options
- Making parenting less stressful and more fun
- Reducing conflict between siblings
- Motivating kids to do boring but necessary tasks
- Fostering gratitude, especially when kids act entitled
- Reducing yelling, nagging, and whining in your household
- Staying connected to teenagers (or just understanding and responding to their irrational behavior)
- Divorce: Raising happy kids despite divorce, separation, or remarriage
This is a sample of parenting coaching topics. For other possibilities please schedule a consultation.
Life Coaching
Dr. Christine Carter helps her clients achieve the lives they want, both personally and professionally. She’ll help you clarify both your goals and what’s blocking you–and then teach you the skills you need to move forward. Dr. Carter’s solution-based coaching provides the inspiration, motivation, and accountability that most people need for work-life balance, happiness, and success.
Couples
Did you know that there are simple things you can do to feel wildly in love with the same person—for DECADES?
Romantic relationships can be a source of great joy in our lives, or they can be toxic, poisoning our happiness and dragging us down. Our relationships with other people are the single biggest predictor of our happiness and satisfaction with life; our romantic relationship, therefore, is an important thing to get right.
Dr. Carter’s couples coaching is different because it integrates the science of happiness and the research related to romantic relationships into the practical skills you need to have a passionate, playful, and joyful marriage.
Groups
Small group coaching is an affordable alternative to private coaching, and it is available in conjunction with Dr. Carter’s online Raising Happiness Classes. More information about that is here.
