"So much is asked of parents, and so little is given." -Virginia Satir
Plenty Within parent coaching is about giving parents ways of remembering their wisdom in partnership with nature, their selves, and meaningful relationships. Below I list books, organizations, and podcasts that are in line with my approach to coaching: parent/adult-centric, kid-informed, and partnership-based.
