A Family Culture of Accountability

Parents whose children are showing defiant and disobedient actions and attitudes often wonder if there is any hope for changing this reality.  We speak often about helping our children learn to be accountable -- taking responsibility for their choices and actions -- but we often confuse compliance with accountability.  Compliance exists when our children simply do what we ask, but only when we are watching or they fear getting caught.  Accountability, on the other hand, is a condition of one’s heart and exist without regard to who is watching.  Accountability is a choice to expose every part of one’s life to the light -- to being into the open things others would conceal.

So how do parents help to create a culture of accountability?  Parents who are working toward creating this culture share in common the fact that they love their children.  This is good because love is the foundation upon which accountability is built.  Consider the words of Jesus:  “Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching...”  The implication is that obedience and love are tied together.  If we desire accountability, we must first teach our children obedience -- respecting every authority placed in our lives.  We must teach our children not to fear obedience or to hide disobedience.  It is through teaching and practicing obedience that we lead our families into a culture of accountability.

For parents looking for help in creating a culture of accountability or addressing other struggles with their children, New Parenting Revolution offers unique support through In-Home Parent Coaching.  If you are struggling, get the help you need from a family relationships expert, spending time in your home working with your family.

Parents Struggle in Silence...

If your car is stalling out every time you stop at a traffic light, what would you do?  You would take it to a trained professional mechanic.  If the lights in your home were flickering throughout the evening for no obvious reason, what would you do?  You would call a professional electrician to come to your home and address the problem.  If someone in your family had been sick and throwing up for three days straight, what would you do?  You would call the doctor and get the sick person checked out.  The answer to these questions is obvious and clearly make sense.  So what can parents do when something is stalled, flickering or sick with their family or children?  Call an expert to help...

New Parenting Revolution offers parents a unique opportunity to have a family relationships expert come to their home and help bring peace and hope back to family life.  For many parents, family struggles are a pain experienced in private.  When parents are struggling with children who are making self-destructive and defiant decision, there is often a fear of embarrassment or “labeling” that keeps them from seeking help or talking with others.  They fear the school their child attends or other parents will look down on them or treat them as outcasts.  While research shows that many, perhaps even most, families experience struggles, little is offered to help.

Some parents will reach out to local counselors, but for many families once a week sessions in an office don’t yield many results.  New Parenting Revolution’s Parent Coaching program offers a completely different approach.   A  coach spends time in your home, learning about parent and their family.  The parent coach offers input as situations are happening and can offer valuable insight into what the “real issues” of a family’s struggles are.  

New Parenting Revolution is affordable and available to families all across the United States.  If you or someone you know is struggling with defiant children, let them know, there is hope...

In Home Parent Coaching - a new option for parents and RTCs

Many parents have dealt with frustrations in raising their children.  For an increasing number of families, these challenges lead to parents seeking outside help.   In many cases, traditional once-a-week- counseling is having no impact on the overall health of the family and options are growing slim.  Many parents will begin looking at therapeutic boarding schools and residential treatment centers (RTC).  There are many organizations online that offer family assistance and work directly with parents to find a solution or program that works for them.  However, many parents experience extreme "sticker shock" when they hear these programs can cost $35,000 to $60,000 per year, AND, require their son or daughter to be away from them for 9 to 13 months.  For an increasing number of parents, they simply cannot afford this option and are left feeling helpless.  Other parents choose to not enroll their children for fear they are acting to quickly -- they don't know if they are ready for such a "drastic" step.  For many family assistance organizations and educational consultants, residential treatment is the only service they have to offer.

This is an unfortunate for everyone involved -- parents are left feeling like there's no hope, children continue down self-destructive paths, families continue to hurt and enrollment specialist see clients "walk away" with no help.  New Parenting Revolution offers a unique solution for families facing these tough situations: In-Home Parent Coaching with family experts.  Imagine being able to have the parent coaching support needed come right to a family's home for three days of intensive coaching, training and evaluation.  This is followed up with six weeks of coaching sessions, twice a week, conducted by video-conferencing.  Services also include written evaluations, family crisis support available 7 days a week and the opportunity to see real change happen right in front of parent's eyes...at a fraction of the cost of residential treatment.  Parent coaches travel to families, making this service available anywhere in the United States and beyond.
