Parent Coaching Cards
Parents, take note: Coaching is not just for the athletic field, anymore!
Many parents today devote themselves to providing for so many of their children's needs but when problems arise, a parent's repertoire doesn't normally include tools they can use to enhance their child's capacity to deal with the problem.
Teachers! Looking for an appealing tool to solve behavior and peer problems?
Parent Coaching Cards offer teachers a tool to turn problem behavior in the classroom into a lesson in social and emotional skills.
I created Parent Coaching Cards with help from many kids dealing with problems at home, school, and with friends. Being teased, overreacting, not cooperating, blaming others, and being inflexible, often contributed to the tough times they faced. Parents told me they wanted practical parenting tools that would appeal to kids. Teachers said they wanted a kid-friendly system to solve behavior problems at school quickly.
If you're a kid, think of Parent Coaching Cards as tools to keep your life running smoothly. If you're a parent, these cards provide a game plan to guide children toward social and emotional success. If you're an educator or other professional, these cards help kids solve real life problems.
Parent Coaching Cards provide a portable tool to coach social and emotional intelligence to children developed by noted child psychologist, Dr. Steven Richfield. Twenty cards combine eye catching illustrations and kid friendly text that resonate with children of all ages. Each card strengthens self-control and social skills by providing self-talk messages that guide kids in ways to keep their thinking side in charge. With the help of Parent Coaching Cards, parents coach vital skills such as resilience, empathy, and flexibility to their children. They serve as a foundation for parents to step into the coaching role and target areas of needed social and emotional growth in their kids. Children are offered on-the-spot coping skills to prevent problems before they occur, or ways to minimize the impact of problems.
The print version of Parent Coaching Cards has been in use since 1998, having been endorsed by experts in psychology and education. The Cards are currently in use in thousands of homes and hundreds of schools throughout the world. Their popularity has led to a parenting book, coaching manual for teachers, and parenting column.
