Raising children isn't always easy, but it should be
deeply satisfying -- and fun! With up-to-date information, skills, and support, you can create the enjoyable
family life you dream of and help your child grow academically and socially. Build
a nurturing relationship with your child that will give him or her a wonderful start in life. What could be more important?
With coaching
you get help when you need it. With unlimited email support, you don't even have to leave your home to get solutions
to the problems you face every day.
You will find
out how to communicate effectively, recognize what works and what doesn't, and reduce family conflict.
Instead of following the crowd, you will discover how to parent based on your own values. Working
as a team with your coach, you will develop a practical approach to any special situations or challenges you may face, such
as having a gifted child...a single-parent household...an interfaith or multicultural family...or a demanding work schedule.
You will learn
to find time for yourself, find a better balance between work and family life, become more patient and confident, and have
a happier, more confident child who thrives in school, on the playground, and at home. You will discover how to
love being a parent.

Comments on Jean Fitzpatrick's books on parenting and family life:
On Something More: Nurturing Your Child's Spiritual Growth (Penguin):
"Something More is a book I want to give all my friends who have young children. It is fresh
and wise....Above all, it is a loving book." -- Madeleine L'Engle
"Jean Fitzpatrick has written a wise, loving, and very useful book. I recommend it." Rabbi
Harold Kushner, author of When Bad Things Happen to Good People
"This is terrific! A much-needed positive resource for nurturing our children's souls." -- John
Bradshaw, author of Homecoming
A Parents magazine Best Parenting Book, 1991
"An excellent resource for parents." -- Publisher's Weekly
"Something More is an ideal resource for parents who view themselves as spiritual pilgrims and who desire to share
the delights of their journey with their children." -- Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat, Spirituality & Practice .
On Once Upon a Family: Read-Aloud Stories and Activities That Nurture Healthy
Kids (VIking): "Fitzpatrick offers traditional tales from many cultures and abundant ideas for leading
children to engage with the stories on their own terms. Her advice is pleasingly spiritual and decidedly noncookbook; she
calls devotion to child-rearing guides that offer systems and tips 'virtual parenting.'" -- San Jose Mercury News
"Fitzpatrick's discussions stimulate readers to review their own lives and show them how
best to transmit the lessons they've learned to the next generation." -- The Washington Post Book World
On Small Wonder: How to Answer Your Child's Impossible Questions About
Life (Penguin): "A wonderfully penetrating book that insightfully addresses the real questions that kids
want to discuss in lucid, understandable language." -- Rabbi Earl Grollman, author of Talking About Death:
A Dialogue Between Parent and Child |
|
"Fitzpatrick's...advice is pleasingly spiritual and decidedly noncookbook." -- San Jose Mercury News

Looking for something more for your family life? For more than
fifteen years, through her practice, books and articles, Jean Fitzpatrick has been sharing up-to-date information, skills and support with moms and dads who want to be the
best parents they can be. As the mother of two young adults, Jean knows first-hand the challenges and joys
of raising children. Her approach is focused, practical and down to earth. If your child is having problems with
behavior, school or friends, or if you are struggling to bring your own values to family life,
parent coaching helps you get the results you want.
When you contact Jean Fitzpatrick, the first step is to determine
whether coaching is appropriate for you. If, after a consultation, you decide to go ahead with coaching, meetings are
either face to face or by telephone, in both cases with email support. The sessions are arranged as a monthly package
to meet your needs, starting at $195, which includes three individual 30-minute phone
or in-person sessions and unlimited email support.
