Parent Coaching Book Clubs

guided exploration

Do you love (or hate!) learning from parenting books?? Want support in how to actually implement what you’re reading about?

It’s one thing to read a book. It’s another thing to shift your parenting.

Join a parenting book club. Here’s what you get:

  • A chance to integrate what you’re learning so you can actually shift your parenting

  • On-the-spot coaching

  • A parent community to enrich your experience

  • Accountability as you complete assignments and track your progress

Got another book you’d like to read in a group or that’s being use at your child’s program? Let Sarah know: sarahmackaycoaching@gmail.com

 

Join a group of parents for 6 weeks in a guided reading and coaching experience.
