PARENT AND TEEN COACHING

           Break through barriers   Reconnect   Better Communication

I am a Certified Family Coach and the Founder and CEO of Positive Family Solutions™, and Parents and Teens, Unite!™. My niche is working with parents and teens. 

I believe trust and respect are at the core of a successful coach and client relationship. I cannot think of a better way to let you know about my work than to share what my clients are saying. 

“My experience with Isabelle was great! She gave me suggestions and let me decide. She helped me see different perspectives of a situation and that helped me to make the right decision.” (Elizabeth, 13)

“I found Isabelle to go above and beyond for parents and children. The results achieved within our family mirror Isabelle's honest, open communication. Her style gives way for families to getting back the love, care and integrity lost as a result of many of life struggles & hardships.”
(Carol, mother of teen)

“Isabelle has a way to get people thinking, talking, and resolving issues.”
(Julie, mother of teen)

“Your insight is empowering. You have helped put things into perspective for me.” (Suzanne, mother of teen)

 
 “Isabelle's listening skills, warm and caring
 personality helped to put us on the right
 path. Our son was 17, exerting his own
 independence, taking risks and making
 mistakes along the way. The same mistakes
 we made in our youth but how quickly the
 mind forgets.

Our old ways of discipline weren't working anymore, we were suddenly in transition and didn't know how to handle ourselves. Isabelle made it click. Through coaching we learned how to respect our son, listen to what he had to say. Coaching taught us to be more patient and understanding … it also helped to clear any misconceptions until we had the facts straight, not blowing them out of proportion. We also learned to dwell on the positive points instead of the negative ones.” (Sue, mother of teen) 

“Isabelle Zehnder started coaching me a couple of months ago and the results have been amazing. What I learned is that I needed to have respect for them [teens] too, it's a two-way street. I also learned I was half the problem. It wasn’t until I could see that that I could make a change. One of the things I've learned from my coaching experience with Isabelle is that it's not only helping my kids but it's really helping me. I feel calmer and more assured of myself and my parenting abilities. I have a deeper level of respect for my kids and I think they have a deeper level of respect for me. I just approach things differently and it's working. The added bonus is that it’s helping me with other relationships too, like with my fiancé and other family members.” (Teresa, mother of two teens)

If you are a parent of a pre-teen or teen and your feel you would benefit from working with a family coach, give me a call at 877-835-7589. I offer a complimentary coaching session that allows us to get to know each other and see if we’re a good fit. 


 Teens have told me that I’m easy to talk to
 and that I help them see things in a different,
 more positive way. If you are a teen and you
 feel you would benefit from coaching, call for
 your complementary session.

                    BENEFITS OF COACHING

 
 It's convenient! 

 About 90% of all coaching is done over the phone.
 With the high cost of gas, and everyone’s busy
 schedules, parents have found telephone coaching to
 be extremely convenient.

 Parents and teens have said they feel more relaxed in
 their own home environments and are less stressed
 because it is so convenient. 


Be Proactive and Ready! 

Parents of pre-teens and teens have found coaching to be a great way to move from raising a child to raising an adolescent. Personally, I think it’s never too early to get some new tools under your belt and to know what’s coming up next. So I encourage parents of children between the ages of nine and ten to start thinking about getting prepared for what lies ahead. 

The Coaching Relationship 

As we work together you will gain new insights and develop a new approach in parenting your child into adolescence. Coaching sessions are structured around what you want to accomplish – it’s your agenda, not mine! I will be there to guide you, to provide you with new ideas and resources, including a variety of suggested reading materials, and to share my knowledge. You will then have a chance to read, reflect, and observe what you learn. 

And finally, through coaching, weekly reading, and practical homework assignments, you will have the opportunity to immediately put the skills into practice. These skills can then be applied to everyday life. 

The benefits of coaching are ever-reaching. While working to become your teen's coach you will find that you too will benefit from the experience. As you read, one client recently said, “I’ve seen a positive change not only in my kids but in myself as well.” I have found this to be true for all of my clients. 

What Parents Have Told Me 

"My daughter feels like a complete stranger" ... "It feels like my son is in control of our household" ... "I am tired of the constant conflict" ... "My family is stuck in a rut and I'm worried there's no way out." “My daughter has no direction for her life.” 


You don’t have to live under stress, fear, or constant worry about your kids any longer. Families are getting the help they need through coaching, learning to tap into their intuition and implementing new skills so they can create the loving home environments they long for and deserve. 

Why Wait? 

We all know the teen years can be challenging. We were teens ourselves once. So many families had nowhere else to turn, and resorted to sending their children and teens to residential programs. Many have shared with me that it was not the answer for them. They’ve said, “If I knew then what I know now I would never have sent teen away.” 

Coaching is a great alternative! I believe it is better to be proactive rather than reactive. 

Sincerely, 

Isabelle Zehnder, CFC
