The constraints of short, time-bound appointments left me yearning for a more meaningful and impactful way to support families. The inability to fully address parents’ concerns within the limited timeframe led them to seek advice from strangers on social media, further compounding the problem. Recognizing the need for change, I began exploring alternative avenues to provide more comprehensive support to parents.

The Pandemic as a Catalyst

As the pandemic unfolded, I found myself juggling the responsibilities of being a frontline healthcare worker, a mother, and a homeschool teacher. It became clear that the traditional office-based model was not conducive to the evolving needs of families. With a desire to provide online services and create a “doctor hotline” free from time constraints, I began seeking a new direction for my practice.

Discovering The Jai Institute for Parenting

I discovered The Jai Institute for Parenting through a friend’s recommendation and immediately resonated with its principles and offerings. The program offered the expertise in child development that I desired, along with the opportunity to provide parents with comprehensive knowledge and education to navigate the challenges they face. I joined Jai not only to enhance my business model but also to deepen my own parenting skills, although initially, I didn’t believe I needed improvement.

The Priceless Transformation for Myself… 

And the Families I Serve

The journey through The Jai Institute for Parenting had an unexpectedly profound impact on my own parenting. It revolutionized my relationship with my teenage children, fostering better understanding and communication. The invaluable knowledge and tools I gained were priceless and exceeded my expectations. Whether utilized in my business or personal life, the transformation was remarkable.

Since graduating from the program, I have integrated coaching into my online offerings, witnessing mind-blowing transformations in both parents and their children. The demand for my services as a parenting coach has been astounding, affirming the significance of this work. Additionally, I have become involved in a teen support center as their parental support provider, further emphasizing the need for these skills in today’s complex parenting landscape.

Becoming a parenting coach has brought multifaceted benefits to my personal and professional life. I now have the opportunity to engage with clients, witness their “aha” moments, and observe their transformative journeys. This work invigorates and energizes me, providing a sense of fulfillment and purpose that surpasses the limitations of traditional pediatric care. My only wish is to share these invaluable skills with more parents.

For pediatricians seeking to expand their impact beyond the constraints of short appointments, I wholeheartedly recommend considering the path of becoming a parenting coach. The training offered by The Jai Institute for Parenting provides a unique and transformative opportunity to enhance your practice and personal life. By embracing the role of a parenting coach, you can revolutionize your approach, support families on a deeper level, and experience the exhilaration of witnessing their incredible transformations.
