Jennifer Watanabe

My name is Jennifer Watanabe. I am a Child Behavior Consultant and Parent Coach. I help parents help their children.

Before you became a parent, you thought that you would enjoy raising a family.

You had hoped that you would be a happier parent.

Now you find that some days are hard, sometimes too hard.

You may wonder how:

• Your child can behave better at home and at school.
• Your relationship with your child could be better.
• You can make your family life better.
• As a working parent you can make the best of your family time.

Do you wonder who can support, encourage, and guide you when parenting is challenging?

Do you wonder how you can become the parent you have always dreamed of being?

If you are exasperated, I can guide you through the process of making parenting easier by improving your child’s behavior and strengthening your relationship with your child.

When you work with me:

• Your child will become more cooperative.
• You will enjoy your family time more.
• You will get the parenting support you need when your family life is difficult.

With more guidance, more encouragement, and less self-blame, you will feel better as a parent. You will find more joy.

There are a lot of parenting articles and social media posts on the Internet.

"Two in five parents think it's difficult to distinguish good vs. bad advice on social media."
C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital National Poll on Children’s Health, University of Michigan Health

Articles and social media posts are one-way communication, and their advice is not personalized for your unique family’s circumstances, your child’s development, and you and your child’s personality/temperament traits.

And you don’t get a chance to ask questions or talk through a parenting problem by reading parenting articles or social media posts.

Time is of the essence. Your child is growing up so fast, and family time is limited. You want things to get better now.

Here is how you can get started: Schedule a time for us to talk. You can ask questions about the coaching process. I will share with you how my coaching works. You can decide if working with me will help your family.

For 24 years I taught positive parenting classes for Bellevue College in Washington state. I’ve taught hundreds of parents how to help their young children have better behavior. I offer private and group coaching. See ResourcesForParenting.com for upcoming talks and group coaching programs.

Coaching is not therapy. Therapy treats emotional wounds and can be a much-needed family resource. Coaching acknowledges the past, and then creates a plan with the parent for moving forward.
