I am deeply passionate about helping families navigate the complex world of parenting. My work has always centred around strengthening the bonds between parents and children, especially in communities where cultural nuances are often overlooked. I combine years of academic research with hands-on experience, empowering parents to approach modern parenting with confidence and compassion.
For the past 15 years, I have dedicated my research career to developing, implementing, and evaluating parenting programs tailored for vulnerable and marginalized communities. My work has been successfully adopted across several counties in Sweden, as well as in locations beyond Sweden’s borders. However, after completing these parenting programs, many parents continued to reach out for further guidance. They sought additional support to navigate the unique minor and major challenges they faced in their families. These parents desired strategies to create a deeper sense of connection within their families, fostering a calmer, more harmonious environment amidst the chaos of everyday life. This ongoing need, coupled with my passion for supporting parents, inspired me to pursue certification as a parent coach through the Parent Coaching Institute (PCI).
As a parent coach, my mission is to help parents recognise and leverage their unique strengths. I use a co-constructive, strength-based approach rooted in evidence-based practises, tailoring my programmes to meet each family’s specific needs. My deep understanding of parent-child dynamics is backed by extensive research on promoting mental health.
Outside of work, I’m a wife and proud mother of three, actively involved in civil society. I enjoy travelling and cherish spending quality time with my family and friends. My calm demeanour, warmth, compassion, and love for challenges define me both personally and professionally.
What Parents Say After Coaching With Me
Dr. Fatumo took the time to understand my personal goals, strengths, and challenges, and her advice was both insightful and practical. She helped me establish clear, actionable steps to achieve my goals as a working mother. Her ability to hold me accountable in a supportive manner on a weekly basis, fostering motivation and self-assurance, was particularly noteworthy.
One of my biggest takeaways from our coaching was how to enhance my time management and prioritise tasks in alignment with my values and long-term vision while remaining flexible and adaptable. She also skilfully reminded me of my small wins each week and the importance of stopping and celebrating them. She encouraged me to focus on my strengths rather than areas for improvement, which fostered a positive perspective on my parenting abilities. By emphasising the numerous positive aspects of my mothering that I often overlook, she boosted my self-esteem and reinforced the notion that I was indeed doing my utmost with the resources at my disposal.
For those seeking a professional who not only comprehends your current parenting situation, encourages growth, challenges your limitations, and acknowledges your achievements, I strongly recommend Dr Fatumo Osman. Her expertise is unparalleled in this regard!”
