Episode 192: Kathy Bowers

Kathy Bowers decided after working for over 20 years as a family practitioner in social care & children and families to leave and become a parenting/teen & life coach. Now for over 40 years she has worked with parents and their children in all areas of parenting & parenting issues including behaviour problems.

Brian and Kathy talk about all that is involved in family coaching, the biggest confounders of family relationships, why it is so important for parents to be aligned on parenting decisions, making time for personal self-care, how to give good consequences for rule breaking and misbehavior, teaching children to deal with strong emotions, why it is important to communicate emotions in a healthy way, why giving your child your full attention when you are spending time with them is very important, and proactively showing your children you care about their life and their emotions.
