Along with life's greatest joys, parenting also brings life's greatest challenges-leaving many parents overwhelmed, concerned, or frustrated over a difficult stage, wondering if things can ever be better. Creating positive, lasting change feels impossible; enjoying the family life and relationships they dream of seems unreachable.
No matter the struggles you're facing, it is possible to nurture healthy, positive relationships with the children in your life and feel calm and confident as a parent. The empowering method of Appreciative Inquiry, used by PCI Certified Parent Coaches(R) in their work with families, empowers parents to strengthen themselves, their family relationships, and experience grace in all the chaos parenting can bring, more confidence in themselves, and greater joy along the way.
The first ever parenting book to incorporate the life-changing methodology of Appreciative Inquiry, this valuable read also looks at the real-life experiences of author Alice Hanscam, CPC, and her many years as both a parent and certified parent coach.
Through inspiring stories of three different families, and concrete steps you can take to begin the process of change, Parenting Inspired contains everything a parent needs to navigate the often overwhelming experience of raising a child and grow the kind of relationships they truly strive for.
