No parent starts off knowing what to do...
And without conscious effort, our parenting methods can create conflict instead of connection. The authoritarian way most of us have been taught to parent, creates conflict and frustration, endless power struggles and leaves us with broken and distant relationships with our children.
Parents love their children unconditionally. The disconnection is created when the child perceives their parent’s love as conditional. Until we understand how our responses to our children are perpetuating our child’s perception of conditional love, we are destined to pass painful patterns from our childhood into our children’s.
It’s Never Too Late to Turn Things Around
No matter what your relationship with your child(ren) looks like right now, there is hope. Depending on where things are at, it can be hard to believe there is truly another way. But I promise you there is.
None of us start off as parents knowing what to do. We create plans, try to be the people we want to be and watch as our idealistic imaginings get run over by the reality of daily life and the immense pressures of caring for our kids.
Hello! I'm Sarah Black
What drives me to do this work as a parenting coach is two fold. First, is my love for parents. I want to share with parents the ability to parent in joy and delight rather than just "getting through" the challenging stages of parenting. There is no need to just survive when we can thrive. Imagine being at ease and peace even in your child most tumultuous moments. I want to help you get to this place. My second drive is my love for children. Little by little we can change our lenses on children's behaviors. We can see their behaviors as communication of their needs and we can make changes that will leave our children feeling safe, accepted, and unconditionally loved.
Once I understood how possible it was to build a relationship with children based on mutual trust, understanding and care, I became deeply passionate about supporting other parents in this life-changing work.
I believe all children deserve to be guided in love. It is our duty to model to our children that it's okay to make mistakes, to apologize, and to do better when we know better. We can be the one to show them how to love themselves and others unconditionally.
I know that you want to be a loving, peaceful parent that has a meaningful connected relationship with your children. In order to do that you need to find a way to reimagine and reestablish a different kind of relationship with your kids.
The traditional ‘POWER-OVER’ model of parenting isn’t working...
which makes you feel like you’re going to spend the rest of your life struggling with your children and continue to feel like you’re just not doing a good job as a parent. I believe that the real issue is that we’re not taught how to be the kind of parents most of us long to be so we end up slipping into the patterns that were ingrained in us in our own childhoods.
It can be easy to believe that it’s not the Power-Over model that is the problem. You may believe the problem is consistency, cohesiveness or support. These three "ingredients" can make things better of course, but ONLY when they are in service of peace, harmony and healing.
I understand how hard it is to ask for help as a parent. Which is why when you contact me, you will be met with understanding, a non-judgemental openness and a supportive, personalized, effective plan that I will personally guide you through every step of the way.
“Working with Sarah has opened my eyes to a whole new way of loving. It is less about changing them and ALL ABOUT showing up for them.”
-Brianna Morsa
“With one simple but precisely compassionate question Sarah helped heal my perception of decades of generational trauma. She is priceless!”
-Cindy Moore
How It Works:
When you book a call with me, we’ll sit down together and talk so I can get a sense of what’s going on for you and your family and where I can offer support.
I’ll explain my approach and the options we have for working together. You can ask any questions you have and see what type of support would be the best fit for your life and schedule.
If it feels right to you, we can book our first session and get started. If it’s not a good fit, I will do my best to offer alternative resources or suggestions for support, wherever possible. There’s no pressure of any kind, simply an opportunity to see if we are a good fit to work together.
Let's Talk!
Set up a time for us to meet, so that you can stop blaming yourself. And instead take the first step towards becoming the kind of parent you know you can be.
