and foster parents. She helped families in crisis situations gain stability
and hope in their lives. She also trained people to be foster parents.
Recently, as a school
counselor, Andrea worked closely with teens and their parents to resolve
problems including bullying, failing grades, and even tougher challenges.
Her secret is in
the coaching model. In traditional parenting the parent dictates what
a teen will do and how they will behave. We tend to parent the way we
were parented. Today's world requires us to take a different approach.
Coaching helps kids tap into their inner wisdom and to find their own
answers. It gives teens the confidence and ability to make better decisions
and to take charge of their lives.
