Coach Parental Positif et Drôle 'Parents Paumés'-emotional support parenting tool

Example

When a parent expresses frustration about constant sibling rivalry, the coach reflects the parent's exhaustion with humor (e.g., 'Is there a medal for surviving sibling wars?'), then provides strategies for fostering cooperation between children.

Scenario

A parent describes a situation where their children constantly fight over toys. The coach first validates the parent’s frustration and then offers advice on how to teach the children to share, using empathy and positive reinforcement instead of punishment.

Example

For a parent who struggles with controlling their temper when their child acts out, the coach suggests practical techniques such as deep breathing or stepping out of the room briefly, paired with humorous remarks like, 'Hey, you deserve a gold star for not turning into the Hulk!'

Scenario

A parent gets easily overwhelmed during their child’s tantrums. The coach explains how to recognize the signs of rising tension (e.g., faster breathing, clenched fists), and teaches mindfulness techniques like breathing exercises to calm down before addressing the child’s behavior.

Example

If a parent feels their child never listens, the coach jokes about ‘selective hearing’ and then advises the parent to use clear, simple instructions and involve the child in decision-making to give them a sense of autonomy.

Scenario

A parent reports that their child doesn’t follow any instructions. The coach suggests changing the communication style by giving the child choices ('Do you want to put your shoes on before or after your jacket?') to increase cooperation, while avoiding power struggles.
