How parent coaching works
How parent coaching works
Start by considering how you learn best. A self-paced class works if you want to move at your own speed. Live group coaching works if you want to learn alongside other parents. One-on-one sessions work if you want the complexities of your unique situation to be addressed in-depth.
One-on-one coaching covers more than your child's behavior. It can focus on your own patterns, on how you and a partner parent together, or on co-parenting communication if you're separating.
Look for a coach whose approach is grounded in research, not personal opinion. The coach should build a plan around your family instead of handing you someone else's script. And look for someone who sees you as a person with unique strengths that can help you address the challenges you’re facing. Your child's behavior is just one part of the picture.
Parent coaching covers more ground than your child's behavior. We look at what's underneath the behavior you're seeing, and at your own reactions to it, since those are often shaped by how you were parented. If you're coming as a couple, we also look at how you communicate with each other and how you align on family decisions.
Parenting strategies coaching can give you a clearer picture of why your child acts the way they do or help you and a partner communicate more effectively. Your parent coach will respond to your unique situation.
Yes. All behavior is communication - both yours, and your child’s!
When a child hits, melts down, or won't listen, something is going on for them. Their behavior is pointing to a need, often for connection, choice, or play.
Coaching helps you figure out what that need is, and what to do about it, without relying on rewards or punishments to stop the behavior. And then your needs for ease, harmony, and collaboration are met too!
ADHD coaching is an ongoing partnership with a coach who understands ADHD. Selena creates a space with no judgment, and works with you to find what's getting in the way of what you want, using your own strengths.
This includes coaching ADHD adults working through their own diagnosis, parents whose child has ADHD, and partners of someone with ADHD. You don't need an official diagnosis either way. Coaching works whether you know what's going on or you're feeling certain, unsure - or supporting someone who is experiencing these feelings.
They start from the same place. You want things to feel calmer at home, and identify strategies that fit your family. ADHD parenting coaching adds a unique and specialized layer on top of that, since ADHD may affect emotional regulation, fluctuating ‘performance’ levels and executive function in ways general parenting strategies don't always take into account.
Selena won't treat ADHD as something to fix. Instead, the work starts with understanding and increasing awareness of how your, or your child's, brain works day to day, including what drains energy and what restores it. From there, you build personalised and evolving routines or support structures around your and your child's unique strengths and needs.
ADHD Parenting Coaching also builds confidence to advocate for your, or your child's, needs and boundaries at school, at home, and with family, especially when others don't understand what they're seeing or pass judgement.
Look for a coach with ADHD-specific training and certification from a PAAC and ICF accredited training institute. General coaching skills don't cover the specific ways ADHD affects planning, memory, and follow-through.
The clearest signal is certification from PAAC, the only organization dedicated specifically to certifying ADHD coaches, on top of a general coaching credential like the ICF. Selena holds both: she's an ICF Professional Certified Coach and Germany's first triple-certified Advanced ADHD coach, trained through one of only three schools worldwide with dual PAAC and ICF accreditation and certified and practicing Faculty. The school’s training and certification includes real hours working with ADHD clients and ICF and PAAC Certified mentorship, education hours and assessment which is also applicable to ADHD coaching online.
