Close Up Radio Spotlights Dahlia Maman of Parent Coach Me

San Diego, CA –  Dahlia Maman is the founder of Parent Coach Me where she works with parents to engage their children with intention and purpose.

According to Dahlia, effective parenting is about the relationship you have with your child and honoring them as a unique person. Parent Coaching teaches parents to be more focused on their children's strengths.

“The hard truth of parenthood is that we are going to make mistakes; there is no instruction manual for being a parent,” says Dahlia. “With education and awareness, we can appreciate everyone for their differences and what makes them unique, even our own children.”

As the mom of four kids, Dahlia knows firsthand the trials and tribulations of parenthood.

Parents face different problems based on the ages of their children, says Dahlia. Problems with younger children are more about discipline issues. As the kids get older, the challenges become more about homework battles and behavior with siblings. Dahlia says when we change our parenting method, the behavior shifts.

“I handle the toddler problems and the high school problem all the same way, because it all comes down to your relationships with the kids,” says Dahlia. “When you have a solid relationship, with a structure and boundaries, things fall into place.”

Dahlia says what children need is to feel evidence of your love for them every day. That's why it's so important to have such a joyful connection.

“No matter how old the children are, when you start connecting with them on a different level, there's a respect,” says Dahlia. “As you become more connected, the behavior shifts as well.”
