Praise...

“…I loved it and so did my family, which is a very good recommendation in that it was picked up and read a number of times until each had absorbed a gem from each encounter. I really enjoyed it and thought the cases and commentary worked very well. I also loved the ‘virtual’ cards. I found that I was 'holding' each of these until I had explored all of the possibilities you were raising. I found it easy to read, pick up and put down and very accessible. As it still lies around, I continue to pick it up and make sure I have squeezed every last inspiration out of it. It is a delightful publication and it appears to be very accessible to your target audience.” - David Wilson, Parent and MD

"Like all mothers, I'm constantly asking myself if I'm doing the best for my children, giving them the tools they need to become independent, happy and successful in their lives. The Coaching Parent helped give me confidence to know I was on the right track together with a few tricks to help when I'm less certain! It's well thought through and very easy to follow. A great book for all parents."
- Lisa Doodson, Mother to Helena, 12 and Alex, 9.

"The Coaching Parent is a really innovative approach which allows parents and children to deal with difficult situations in a constructive and positive way in the home environment."
- Don McLaverty, Parent with two children

"This book provides the encouragement, inspiration and the practical tools needed to help you tackle the most challenging job on the planet - being a parent."
- Paul McGee, Author of the best selling book 'S.U.M.O... Shut Up, Move On.'

"The Coaching Parent fills a significant gap in coaching literature. Most coaches come from a sports, business, education or psychology background and focus their work on those fields. Surely many of them are parents too and this is where coaching should start. The Coaching Parent is a resource for parents who care - like all parents. I was especially gratified to discover how much importance and space is given to the building of self-confidence in all its forms. This is the foundation stone for life and needs to be set early. Who better to do it than parents, and here is how."
- Sir John Whitmore

Sir John Whitmore is a former champion professional race-car driver, a businessman, and a sports psychologist who excels today as a management consultant. Sir John, a well known advocate of "coaching" in business, has written a best seller on the subject entitled: "Need, Greed or Freedom." Another popular work by Whitmore is: "Coaching for Performance: Growing People, Performance and Purpose."

"The Coaching Parent isn't just a simple system that works; it acknowledges that parenting is work and shows you how to do that work properly. It causes you to lift your game and reach new levels of relationships with your children."
- Nikki and Mike, Parents with two children

"The Coaching Parent arrived into my life on my 52nd birthday and as I began to read the philosophy and ideas expounded by David and Jack, I realised that I have never read a single book about parenting, attended a lecture, watched or listened to anything.

"I don't know whether I would have made a better job of it if The Coaching Parent had been around 19 years ago when all of this began - but I do know that I would have felt less lonely, less inadequate and less fearful of the outcome of this perilous journey."
- Chris Barrow, Principal of The Dental Business School, The Coaching Business School and The Online Business School

"You carry your precious child for 9 months but nothing can prepare you for the enormity of the responsibility until the birth. For weeks after my son's birth I felt that I had misplaced the much needed 'handbook' which would tell me what to do and which I so desperately needed. Eight months later I feel a little more confident but recognise that at every junction the decisions my husband and I make could impact upon our sons life and development. The Coaching Parent is the handbook which I have been looking for, allowing my family to develop in a positive way without imposing strict rules that we all have to adhere to."
- Natasha Jones, Mother and Practice Partner CFP Solicitors

"As a business consultant and Mum to two lively boys aged 9 and 7, The Coaching Parent is universally an essential read and source of reference. My 2 boys' personalities are so different that it is essential that I can build rapport with each of them, question and listen to uncover their personal issues, praise according to what has meaning to them and deal with their diverse self-confidence issues. With the skills and techniques in the book I can "coach" each of my boys so much better. Additionally I can now use the newly acquired techniques with my clients and the teams they have to manage."
- Annette R. Kurer, Ark Consultants - consultancy, coaching and training

"However experienced, capable and sensitive we may be when dealing with adults or other young people, it is always far more difficult to present a calm approach when endeavouring to encourage and help our own children. The emotions present in such close relationships often make our comments appear as criticisms or of us as having over-demanding expectations. It is therefore invaluable to have The Coaching Parent as a resource that suggests practical examples and strategies which we parents' can employ as we lovingly prepare our children to tackle and achieve greater challenges with flair and success."
- Joy Naylor, Vocal Coach and a parent with L plates on!

"As a parent, early years teacher, school governor and someone who has benefited from coaching; I know that coaching helps to build self esteem, break down barriers and release latent potential. It explores and develops the skills necessary to do this in a way that is relevant to each individual, recognising the fact that children and adults learn in many different ways. It helps individuals to reach and achieve their maximum potential whilst also developing invaluable life skills. I think this book would be a valuable resource not only in every parent's library, but also for anyone interested in improving and developing learning skills."
- Gail Steele

"We found it really easy to get to grips with the flow of the book and the advice provided from the cards. It has endorsed our 25 years practical experience of being parents, and certainly provided us with many different ideas to assist in the coaching of our grandson. It also makes sense of many of the challenges that we faced with our children. It's a pity this book was not available all those years ago when they were growing up."
- Steve and Lynn Bugg, Parents with two children

"I have used the concepts in The Coaching Parent and found them to be invaluable. Coaching your child opens up new areas of development for both of you."
- Mother with two children
