Why Centered Parents?

Many families who enter Centered Parents, are deeply committed to their child’s development in sport. Yet, many feel stuck.

Prior to starting Centered Parents, parents often experience the following:

A sense of being “tuned out” by their child
Frustration with their child’s behavior and performance in sport
Uncertainty about when to push, when to support, and when to step back
Strong emotional reactions to games, practices, and competitions
Worry about saying the “wrong thing” or making things worse
Difficulty communicating without it turning into conflict
Feeling mentally and emotionally exhausted by being a sport parent
Feeling unable to “get through” despite good intentions

Centered Parents offers parents an approach that helps them get unstuck and reconnected in ways that support both enjoyment and success – for themselves and their child.
