It takes a Village to Raise a Child: Parent Coaching at MindFit
“The thing about parenting rules is there aren’t any.” That’s what makes it so difficult.” – Ewan McGregor
From emotion regulation challenges to ADHD to social media use, there are no shortage of parenting challenges. MindFit Parent Coaching aims to help make your job a little easier.
Workouts (sessions) are designed to improve children’s emotional, cognitive, behavioural and health-related outcomes by fostering parenting skills and improving the quality of parent-child relationships.
Techniques:
Collaborative Problem Solving
• Developed by Dr. Ross Greene at Harvard Medical School, CPS is an extremely effective technique for helping youth learn lagging skills in the areas of flexibility, frustration tolerance, and adaptability.
• CPS is based on the premise that children do well if they can (not if they want to) and your explanation of why a child is behaving poorly guides the intervention. More specifically, CPS sees challenging behaviours as resulting from skill deficits and not motivation deficits.
• Consequently, the goal is to help parents learn to solve common problems/challenges (e.g., screen time, homework, routine difficulties) with their youth collaboratively and proactive, while teaching youth new skills along the way.
Emotion Coaching/Emotion-Focused Parenting
• Parents and caregivers learn to recognize and attend to their and their child’s emotions and use emotions as moments for teaching. Parents are also taught to listen with empathy, validate their child’s feelings, and meet their child’s needs (e.g., offering a hug if a child is sad).. When a child calms down, parents learn to help their child label their feelings with words and then discuss practical coping strategies to deal with triggers and improve self-regulation skills
Positive Parenting Interventions/Strength-Based Parenting
• Strength-based parenting helps parents to acknowledge and encourage a child’s unique abilities, talents, and skills (i.e., strengths).
• Practical advice and interventions (e.g., ways to identify parent strengths and children’s strengths, how to have conversations for connection) is provided to help set children up for success, maximize potential, and nurture and foster children’s talents and strengths.
At MindFit, we only provide programs and workouts that are backed by science and based on real data. You can expect to work with skilled clinicians who aim to create a safe, non-judgemental, de-stigmatizing, compassionate and welcoming environment. Sessions are aimed to at being short term and time limited, handouts and resources are provided to help you implement your new toolbox of strategies and skills, and questionnaires/check-ins are used to measure/track change.

North Star Therapy-- Cleo Haber
Registered Social Worker, BSW, MSW, RSW
Relationships with family members can be particularly complex. With family, we often fall into old roles that may no longer serve us. You may be grieving the loss of a relationship you wished you had with a family member, or struggling with conflict and hurt feelings that keep getting re-triggered in each encounter. You may be facing challenges with parenting or trying to figure out the best ways to support your children. Relationship counselling can help you sort through the complexities of family dynamics, understand old roles and how you get pulled into them while working towards setting healthy boundaries in order to create more harmonious family dynamics.

Bridget McCann
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP
Parenting is another common topic that I come across in my practice. Whether you are a biological parent, a step-parent, or a co-parent, these relationship dynamics can be complex and difficult to navigate at times. My personal experience as a step-parent and co-parent have broadened my outlook into nuclear and blended family lifestyles, expanding my repertoire of parenting skills and perspectives.

MindfulWe Holistic Psychotherapy & Counselling Services
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP, IMD (candidate)
Parenting is life-changing, wonderful, and challenging. As a mother of two beautiful humans myself, I know how parenting transcends time. What I mean by this is that parents have to deal with present day tantrums of their children while reenacting their own parents, or seeing themselves in their children, or any combination of these which changes and switches based on how you feel, where you are, and who your with. Let’s not forget how becoming parents greatly impacts your relationship with your spouse. It’s a lot, because it’s alot of change and adjustment all at once.
One on one therapy for parents can be especially wonderful. Finally, a space just for them. Free to feel and say out loud all that you need/want too but don’t because of pressure.

As a parent of three, I can relate to very challenging parenting issues. It is never easy, and can be extremely painful when we see our children go through difficulties in their lives. I can help to process your emotions, to provide clarity, and to guide you to a more peaceful parenting experience.

Ekum Wellness
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
Parenting is a rewarding yet challenging journey that involves nurturing, guiding, and supporting a child’s growth and development. It encompasses a range of responsibilities, from providing emotional support and instilling values to setting boundaries and fostering independence. Effective parenting requires patience, empathy, and adaptability, as each child is unique and may have different needs and personalities. Building strong, open communication and creating a loving environment can help children thrive and develop into confident, compassionate individuals. Whether you’re navigating the early years or facing the challenges of adolescence, embracing the joys and hurdles of parenting can lead to fulfilling relationships and lasting memories. Remember, there’s no one-size-fits-all approach—trust your instincts and seek support when needed, as every parent’s journey is different.
